Default 21" On My 'Bob

Anyone know where to find a 21x3" rim to lace my hub to? I want to run a 120/70 front tire but cannot find a 40 spoke rim wide enough. Jireh Cycle had an Ultima, but that's been backordered for months now!

I am running a 120/70 on a 21 X 3.5 inch 40 spoke Apollo SL rim.

check out "Jirehcycles.com"... they sell a 21 X 3.25 steel rim for about 50 bucks.

A few guys on here have used the rim, and say it's solid and very true.

They were on backorder for the longest time, but just got a bunch in. I'm expecting mine in the mail today.

as i stated, i anticipated receiving the 21 X 3.25 rim in the mail today from jirehcycles.com.... and it has arrived.

i have NO problem with this rim at all... it's solid!... who knows, probably not the best chrome- i can't tell... but i'm sending it out for powdercoat, anyway

for 50.00, this thing clearly appears to be well worth it!... stands to reason why they were on backorder for so long ....they're obviously in demand ....so get them while you can, boys!

think twice before you do it if you have any kind of twisty roads around there. the loss of rubber makes a huge difference, did it and went back to the 19.
