HELP Amazon rims 7000 Aluminum

Jacob Swallow · 06-25-2023, 01:46 PM

Hello, does anyone know if these rims from amazon are accurate. I have not heard about swapping rims into high end aluminum from anyone.

I managed to bend the front 21in rim and the spokes are striped.

My plan is to buy these and take my raven 250 to the dealer to have spokes installed. please help with any info about this !

I believe the stock front rim is a 1.40. Are you keeping the same size tires? I think you'd have to run larger and might run into issues with that rim. Someone here might have tried it, Idk. I stick to closest to stock.

This is OEM, same manufacturer listed as Hawk/raven 250, Zongshen. TT250 is the same bike, essentially.

However if you just want Gold rims, I know CSC sells them, but they don't appear to be in stock?

Just noticed these are 1.60 (same size you have there), says they work with stock tires in the description, I'm not 100% sure, but looks like you should be good to go.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can chime in.

Just buy from CSC,by time you pay a bike shop for their time,and you might need new spokes you will have twice as much as they want for their complete wheel.

There is a limit on tire width due to chain interference. I know this is not directly a consequence of gettting a wider wheel spec, but just a heads up. I was actually able to get a much wider Tusk DSport onto my Bashan Storm compared to the Templar! I even considered shaving the side knobs by the chain on a larger tire so I could go wider, but just went with a narrower one. Still a fantastic tire!
