I have to build a new wheel for my QS 205 50H
I had a 17", but I plan to go 16".
The rim that came with the motor did´nt survive my offrod driving, so I hope a better rim will.
I have a quote from a company in sweden, they suggested a excel rim. Drilled in custom angles and with custom spokes. The problem is that the rim is about 2000sek, or a bit over $200. Then the spokes is also about 2000sek. and they want me to send the motor, and mount it for 900sek or another $100. So a total of about 5000sek or $550
I think it is a bit much, so I am looking at alternatives. I can get a sm pro rim for a better prize, but that is not with custom spoke angles. But I think I can file them a little if necessary, right?
But I will still need spokes. Do they have to be expensive custom, maybe there are short spokes of the shelf that I can buy?
Do you have a tip of where to look? I would prefer if it is in the eu, but other places can be interesting too.
