Bicycle rim .. front on back??

vwine · Apr 13, 2010

Oops... I did it..
I bought a bicycle rim for my bike.. which needs a back rim. Well, turns out I accidently ordered a front rim i guess.. because its what I got.. Is there any way possible to make a rim made for the front.. and put it on the back of a motorized bicycle? Thanks in advance.. VW

To me, the spoke count dictates which end it goes on.

You could get it to fit on the rear if you changed the axle but then you would'nt be able to peddal the bike. Send the wheel back and order the right one.
