Phil,
I have checked and found that they are 17" wheels.
Jamie.
Early Ruby rear axle ratio is 5.25:1 that works out at just under 15 MPH/1000 RPM in top gear with wheel/tyre @ 26" diameter. The OHV Reliant motor is much more free revving than a standard A7 motor, should be OK at a sustained 4000 RPM as long as there's reasonable airflow to the sump or have an an oil cooler installed if not.
