Re: wheel deal? 700 87

Mike, I felt the same urge a few weeks ago. Bought some wheels and tires on eBay, unseen. From a nice guy. But learned *then* that the newer (mid-90s +? 850... S/V/this/that) wheels are DEEPER than the older (2xx, 7xx...) wheels. I measured. (Better late than never.) The older style had (from memory!) ca. 25 mm offset from CL of wheel, while the newer ones are (again from memory!) ca. 45 mm. offset. ABout 20 mm diff., or 3/4" WHich would work OK on the rear of my 745 (projecting inwards about an additional 1", what with the wider wheel/tire, and not projecting outward more at all), but would strike the strut on the front. No maybe. Wouldn't even mount there.

I hope that's clear. Live and learn! (Just shamefully full of trite wisdom today... Bye!)

Gregg
