Wheel Sizes

[Dennis Nicholas]

With my Nippy I use 19 inch for the trials ....3.50 front and larger rear.  Has had much success, but for road use at any speed the handling is a bit scarey.  16 inch (an Austin export size) I found very good for normal road use but tyres in that size became nearly impossible to get so had 15 inch built using Citrone 2CV rims on front (2CV tyres easy to get) and (I think) Peugot rims for rears (for extra but not too wide). Both had extra strong spokes.......these were built by a motorcycle wheel man who punched the rim holes properly.  I still use the 15s after many years and they are still as strong. So look for a motorcycle wheel man........my man was so much cheaper than car wheel firms.
