Hey guys, long time I know, but I was forced out of hibernation due to an odd dilemma.

There's a rear wheel that I would like to get, but they don't ship to Canada. I was wondering if someone here could have it shipped to them, and then they ship it to me?

Here's the item.

I'm pretty sure this will work on my bike (same rear axle size?) but if not, please tell me.

The reason why I wanna swap it is because mine is a 17 right now, and tires for that rim are limited to 1 or 2. With the 16, or an 18 if I could find one, there are like 10 tires I can choose from.

If you have one, comstar of course, I'd be happy to buy it.

PS - Is it just the rim? The one on ebay has a usable tire as well, but just wondering.

Hmm that poses a tough decision. The one from Geeto would be cheaper all around, as it would be one shipping cost, where as the ebay one would be more expensive with two shipping charges, but I'd have a usable rear spare.

I'll wait till Geeto posts that pic and then decide.

But thanks Tex, for that awesome info! There's been a few little things I've been wanting to get off ebay only to see they "Absolutely don't ship to Canada" for some reason.

That's true. I have another question though. The sprocket setup for my bike is 15 front and 38 rear. On the Custom it's an 18 front, 43 rear. At least that's what PartsCanada says. It also says I have an 18" rear wheel.

Anywho, would this be better with the 530-106 chain, as opposed to the 630-90? And what differences in drive (if any) would I see? Is it easier to put in or take out links on a chain?

The L sprocket should bolt right onto the 16" Custom rim, right?

Thanks guys.
