I've got the America hub & am now looking at the rest of my big rear wheel build.
Has anybody built one using parts from Buchanans? I've emailed them but no reply as of yet.
The BC kit uses a 5.5" rim & a 200 series tire. I suppose this is as large a wheel that will fit in the swingarm so its what Im going to go for.
What kind of offset am I looking at?

Where did you get your wheel built? How wide is the rim?
I'd love to see some pics!

Buchanans got back to me.
$354 for the rim, $129 for the spokes, $95 to lace & true.
I'll be doing it myself to save some shipping & labour!
