Upon further inspection I noticed cracking in the rim around most of the nipples, a few cracks being pretty severe. I'm trying to get away with replacing the rear rim only for now and I'd like to order a replacement that will work with my existing 20 hole hub and spokes. Since Neuvation recently closed it's doors, I'm looking at other options. The wheels appear to be r28's, which have a rim depth of 27mm. I verified the rim depth on my wheel with my calipers. Would a 20 hole Kinlin xr270 rim work since it also has a room depth of 27mm, or do I need to know the exact erd of the rim I'm replacing.
Good chance it originally was a Kinlin 270 , measure the erd and compare. IF the wheel is dead , what do you have to lose?
