Gidday all,

Brain picking time

I am trying to get the costs down for the local school- the students are building 6 lefroy minis, but they are really stretching thier budget since Fallshaw wheels are now $66.00 each- (not including bearings)
We will be sticking to Fallshaw for the rear wheels but hope to be able to save a few bob by recycling bike wheels for the front.

Any advice regarding what type of bike wheels are best to use would be a help, stuff like what width, diameter, material (steel spokes or plastic?) any particular type to avoid like the plague.

As soon as I know what to look for I can let the kids loose with some spanners!

Thanks in advance!

Stephen.

12 wheels, surely there would be some kind of discount for that quantity. Maybe a group buy - anybody else want any? I'll put my hand up for 3 if it helps.
