Scooterotica

No, won't be selling them.

Is it the same big disk as the other ScootRS wheels?

What's the issue with the valve positioning?

Couple of pics?

Reference the deep well on corrados brake if the wheel follows the norm for auto type rims the 10 inch skipperrim has a well alot deeper than a lambretta one even the AF, SIP type you can put a tyre on one almost by hand , were I get mine fitted he uses a plastic spatular type tyre lever with soap just slips on no problem

I've got a Zip wheel on the front of my Jet and managed to get the tyre on (Sava Monsun) without any great drama just resting it on the waste bin and using a pair of tire irons with insulating tape to protect the paint. Used washing up liquid as a lubricant. A tyre with a heavier construction would be harder though.

Inflating was another matter though You need a proper compressor as the electric type doesn't put enough air out to push the lip of the tyre out onto the rim to forma seal. I ended up taking it to the local tyre fitters who used an air powered 'blaster' device and charged me a fiver

No issue with valve position but the only valve I had was a Bridgeport one from Demon Tweeks and wasn't 100% it was a perfect fit, maybe the pull in ones are what's required but my tyre fitter doesn't have 90 degree ones.

Yes Steve, I reckon this rim would be the same, it has, as you said, a much deeper well than the SIP ones [SIP ones being deeper than AF] so fitting tyres would no doubt be easy.
