Hi - I'm undertaking the restoration of a Pashley Trike, and one of the rear rims is pretty badly buckled. Too bent—I fear—to be saved by re-truing.
Naturally with these things, it has a strange rim size - somewhere between BMX (406) and most old UK folders (451) that I cannot seem to find a stockist of, called 440 (500A).
Does anyone have any clues as to any stockist of this size - Ideally UK but EU or worldwide for a lead would be useful. It needs to be drilled for 36h.
Many thanks in advance to anyone that can offer any leads.
