Welcome

WHat wheel is this from? I am not aware of any wheel, 17 inch, that wil just bolt onto the NC24 swinger..

What is the problem with your current wheel? Sure someone will have one if you need one..

140/60 tyres can be had from Bridgestone in BT45 format...plenty of people (and me when I had a 24) use them to great effect..

ok i will try and put it on i know the offset wont allow it to fully go on bit will give me an idea as to if its posible
im not sure what its of as i dont know the history of the wheel thanks for your reply much appreciated

On the wheel will be some stamped sizes.

You'll see a size on there - 4x18 or 4.5x17 etc.

The wheel says 17xHT5.50 ill try and get a pic too cheers

You'll never get that wheel on...no chance..it is far too wide and there won't be clearance.

If, by some engineering voodoo, it was fitted then your handling would be atrocious.

Are you just trying to fit a larger rear tyre? Don't bother, appreciate the bike for what it is - 20+ year old pice of great engineering....

Thankyou for the advice I'll bin that idea then it was just so it made the back look slightly better but I value your opinion thanks again ...

That part number of that rim, does anybody know what bike that would of came from.

I picked up a spare rim for my 02 F4i a couple years ago and I was just going to put it on today and realized that the hub for the sprocket it different and I need to know what make of bike this came from so I can find the proper parts to hopefully interchange these items.

Thanks.

You haven't given us a part number, just the size.

So 17xHT5.50 is just the size then? Ok, Im gonna go take another look for the number and see what I can find then. Thanks.
