help: 2.2" wheels for a schuie fireblade 2000

[zoomzoombang]

not exactly vintage yet but does anyone know what 2.2" wheels will fit a Schumacher fireblade 2000? I am missing a front original one but might be easier to get one in the newer standard. Thanks.

Contact team schumacher as they will most probably still have in stock

Welshy40: Thanks. I checked their site before. They have the 2.1" smooth type only, I am after the 2.2" type. I have also pm'd them recently for something else but have not received any replies from them yet. Maybe they were too busy with the toy fair in Germany though.

The fronts are 2.1 originally, the front wheel bearings are 4x8x3
I have loads as well

Whats wrong with 2.1? All you do is glue the tyres to the rim. I use 2.1 on my old b2 and works ok with staggers

Moozo: thanks for the info on the bearing sizes.

Welshy40: did not dawn on me 2.1" vs 2.2" is not much difference . I was thinking more along the line of which ever is easiest to get from my lhs since I've already got some 2.2" tyres so getting 2.2" rims got stuck in my head.

I don't believe there was ever a 2.2 front wheel made for the fireblade.
