G'day Coopa,

26P rims can be like rockinghorse poo to find. I managed to fluke a set of four that Dad had lying around... then spent quite a while trying to get another one for a spare (with thanks again to the gentleman who dropped one off for me from out bush).

I had the same drama with trying to set up. I bought some wheel spacers from Autobarn, and used them to simulate the 26P rims by using the more common 43P rims. It was OK for running around the garage, but the extra spacing meant that the wheel studs did not engage many threads. To allow for road testing, I ended up pulling the rotors, and putting in longer wheel studs. They are easy enough to buy from most tyre places.

Cheers,
Harv
