Tire

Post by Guy53 »

Does anybody have an idea where to find a 250-20 front trial tire. A friend is the owner of a Cota 123 with 20inc front and 17 rear wheels, we found a VEE Rubber for the rear but we can anything for the front. If we can't find anything, maybe an advise on a replacement rim and spoke lenght.

Thank you in advance

Guy I think the popular option for the 123 is to fit a 21" rim. If the 123 hub is the same as the 247/348, then a TY175/250 front spoke set will do the job. It might be a smaller hub though
relax, nothing is under control

Thought i had seen a similar question somewhere else before and just found it... here was the reply.

"A 247 Cota front end is a direct swap. You can just do the wheel but the 123 forks are pretty wimpy. The rear is almost a direct swap, you have to cut the chain gaurd mounts off the swing arm then the 247 wheel bolts right up. The hubs on a 123 and a 247 are the same."
