Established in 1990, the Devon Rim Company Ltd has been a purveyor of the finest wheel goods available worldwide for vintage British motorcycles. Their “TRU” Dunlop profile and finish offer the most authentic replacement rims for the restorer. This rear wheel rim will suit 1976-1982 Triumph 750 twin-cylinder models equipped with rear disc brake hubs and 18″ rims. The dimples are pierced to accept .300″ spoke nipples. May also be suitable for conversion of the 1975 T160 model to 18″ specification when the appropriate spoke set is selected.
This 40 hole WM3-18 rim is top quality Devon Valtru Stainless steel, manufactured and finished in the UK. The dimples are pierced to fit .300″ OD spoke nipples, as an update to 9 gauge spokes and nipples occurred at the factory after the 1976 model year. The corrosion-resistant stainless rim features stampings that mimic the original Dunlop patterns.
Stainless rims offer a bright and corrosion-resistant finish and are an excellent choice for replacement of the original chrome plated rims. Modern manufacturing standards ensure safe and attractive wheels for superior reliability on the road.
Wheel building is a specialized skill and requires patience and specialty tools. A wheel truing stand will be beneficial for achieving a trued wheel and safely finished product. Refer to the specific model’s workshop manual for more details on rim lacing and correct offset specifications. In many cases, wheel building is best left to an experienced wheelsmith.
