26" mags?

[brandonehansen]

Does/has anyone made mag wheels this big? Or even plastic wheels.. I love those old school big chunky wheels and they would look awesome on one of my bikes but I have no idea if they've been made. Any suggestions?

I've seen them on cheap mountain bikes. They were super-heavy, though.

Exactly like those. I think they were Italian.

There are 2 bikes in this set of photos that have those mags. One on each page. http://locojoe.com/coasters/pages/aotb_ ... ycle/2006/

I'm guessing they were purchased on e-bay.

Here are the ones that Randy mentioned. I think they are shipped from Taiwan.

I didnt see a coaster version but it would be interesting to email them as I think they are the manf. You could always make a single speed and run disc or rim brakes

Here is a pic set up as a single speed conversion but i don't see brakes

This one running a front disc only

Grimeca makes 26" mags that pop up on ebay and other biking sites once in a while. Rollercam from this site has some on his Simple: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2409. Spin also makes carbon fiber 26" wheels that would look cool. I've heard those Taiwan wheels aren't too good, bearing issues, wobble issues and to get warranty you have to send them back to Taiwan.

That's it! Grimeca! Those are the ones that I saw.

Spin wheels are nice, but my favourites are the Xentis ones. Hand made in Austria -----> mucho dinero
