The right 87-88 rim will turn up sooner or later. I would wait it out.

My 2¢.

i got an exup wheel by mistake from ebay (was not sure from description but was very cheap, £15 and freshly powder coated black so took a chance) and as no bearing seem to exist in the right size my local bearing shop had a 1mm shim which fits inside bearing to make perfect fit and seems to work very well, has done 5000 miles on it with no problems


I converted last winter with no problem using an 88 wheel.

For future help to others who want to use an exup wheel can you post the manufacture, part number, and cost of the 1mm spacer ? They are difficult if not imposable to find over here. It might help other members out as 87 - 88 wheels are in short supply.  :good2: :good2:.

unfortunatly they have no labels or manufactures marks, they were just something local bearing shop had in, they were about £5 for four if i remember rightly and i bought all they had at the time (4) i have not been back since i got them (last august) but will pop in next time i am passing to see if they have any more in.
