Nebie needs some help

[michaelagonza87]

Hi All

Building my first MB! A Micargi Puma 3.0 and I guess I have to get a new rear wheel for it. I would prefer a red Mag for the back or I will settle for a red 26 inch 36 spoke red rim. Oh yeah the bike has a 3 inch rear tire. Where can I find?


Hope I don't sound to stupid. I am learning as I go and have a teacher for the build!

Thanks Curt!

Can I put a wheel cover over the rear tire on my build? I assume I would have to drill or cut out holes to bolt through?

I need to buy a 36 spoke wheel for the rear as the bike I buying has a 68 spoke tire. The wheels are red and I am looking to do this sort of cheap as my original budget has sky rocketed
