Need Wheel Sizing help?

Wheel Size Calculator linkWheel Size Calculator link
This Section is very much 'a work in progress'. Its intended to be a database of wheels which have been fitted to various Triumphs over the years. Once the data is more complete, this section will be adapted to provide specific sizing and fitting information for the different body shells.

NOTE 26th July: The database is still lacking wheel weights. Can you help?
