Could opt for a set of Excel rims black anodised, that would look  8)

Just sent mine for a rebuild with stainless spokes, my mech wanted me to get the rims (still good after 83k miles) anodised black like that but I chickened out  :shock:

whereabouts are you? bloke local to me builds wheels and has owned a Steamer in the past (which he used for trackdays..  :D ).. he might be able to give you an idea of the cost of a new rim laced to your hubs?

mornin  :D does anyone know the differnce between 1998 and 2000 tiger wheels ?
the reason i ask is theirs a pair jus come up local too me. is it worth gettin em, or should i jus not bother ? new wheels seem to be out of my pocket range so far so second hand ones it is  :roll:

[John Stenhouse]

98 would be steamer, 00 would be Girly, no idea wether they cross over.

[John Stenhouse]

If they're 00 spoked ones I'll have them if you don't. So buy em see if they fit if they don't sell them to me. Easy

[Mustang]

they are different , but I cannot confirm or deny if they will fit or not ................ :?:

[rybes]

well, i been on the phone today to someone who seems to know, wouldnt bloody shut up tellin me stuff bout tigers. anyway, aparantly they do fit. there jus made with behr rims and stainless spokes, so i bought em  :D
john, i get em at the end of the month, if they dont fit ill be gettin in touch :D

When I got my '95 Tigger, it came with a bill from a breakers for a rear wheel and shock assy. The owner showed me that the new rim is a Behr, and has stainless spokes, and has a wider tyre , and is a 150 width I think. The wheel assy had been fitted, but the shock was not the same because it came from an early FI model Tiger. I am confident yours will fit, and the brake disk and chain ring assy will have the same mounting. The front is also a Behr rim and stainless spokes, I fitted it myself. The newer Tigers have bigger discs, but the mount is the same, its the calipers that are spaced further out on the brackets. Good luck
