Want To Buy - Front Wheel for 750
Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2021 6:25 pm
Hello Everyone,
I am in need of a replacement front wheel for my Paso 750 Limited. Ideally I would like to find a clean and straight original red/aluminum Oscam wheel from one of the members here before I troll the internet. If you have one you are willing to sell please let me know. Would also appreciate any potential leads/connections to other sources. Will also consider other color combinations as long as the wheel is clean, straight and original.
When I bought my 750 way back in 1994 the front wheel already had a bend in it (from a hard edge hit) where the tire bead seats against the wheel but the wheel has always rolled smooth and straight. Lately though I am having issues with balance each time I fit a new front Shinko tire. Just this past week my local cycle shop re-adjusted the tire and weights twice but I am still having a very noticeable front end "bounce" between 30-40 mph (48-64 kph). They are telling me the bend may be getting worse and causing the tire to have a bulge-type deformation at the bend location, this in turn creating an out-of-round condition and causing the hop. Does this sound credible?
Thanks All, and hope you are doing well in these very strange covid times.
