WTB: Sherco Rear Rim or Wheel

Post by thetable »

Is there any chance that somebody has a rear rim or wheel for a 2006 2.9 Sherco?

Slime ate mine.

I think it's an issue of using the tube type slime in a tubeless wheel. But yeah, I won't touch the stuff.

What a mess. Good luck on the spare wheel. Try posting on ADV Rider in the trials forum or trials central.

I've posted in the trials flea market thread.

In the mean time, about four hours with a file, wire brush, and scotchbrite pads, and it looks like she's holding pressure, well, at least at 30PSI.

clean it up and paint it. Wrap the center with electrical tape. Then install a tube.

My mind won't let me do that as a permanent fix. It must be fixed perfectly!

Well, she wasn't holding air nearly as well at 6psi. She now has a duct tape rim strip, a whole lot of leading edge tape over anything not perfectly smooth, and a tube. I've got a long way to go before the tube is holding me back.

I still want to replace the rim, but I'm not willing to pay full retail for it.
