Imagine if you bought a new car. After a few years you needed a new wheel/ You go to the dealers and try to order one, only to be told that you cannot buy one, and that you should look at aftermarket suppliers of parts, hoping they might have one that is near enough.
That is the problem I have with my Raleigh push bike. I need a new front rim. I do not need a wheel, just a rim. I rebuilt both wheels last year, using stainless steel spokes. The front rim is now badly worn by the brake blocks. The name on the rims is ACCEDA. Dealers have never heard of it, and can`t find it on the internet. If I buy an aftermarket rim, It will not match the rear, and more important there is no guarantee that my existing spokes will fit Anyone got help or advice?
