Default OOPS, tippsy, Need stock bf750 front rim

Took my bf for its first ride and rolled in down a 35 foot hill. OOPS! I have been reading these treads for a while and read that this machine is tippsy. I agree. I came to this hill and decided the machine would probally feel tippsy going down it so I decided to not go down. Felt like it was going to tip a little so I side stepped off of it and the big boy decided to go for a tumble anyway. It went end over end more times than I would like to remember, about 7 times. All that happened to it was one bent front rim, slight bend in rear rack, and handle bars bent down. Handdle bars must have been loose beause they pulled right back up. Need a new rim. Anyone have an extra. These are the cheeziest tries and wheels I have ever seen. I think I could bite through them, they are not very durable. But I still rolled it. I have new rims and tires but it wont fit in the back of my truck with them on. I want to have these as spares anyway. Please email me if anyone has a set. figleone@comcast.net . Thanks

I have a set of the stock rims and tires. I upgraded after about two weeks of purchase, so they have almost no wear on them. Contact me if want to purchase the full set.

Do yourself a favor and spring for a set of ITP or similar. This made all the difference for me. Just went 35 miles in to the Rockies today and never once had that feeling of "oh ****, I don't think this will work" at all. Still can't figure out why they don't just ship these things with wider wheels to start with. Good luck.

skip all these high priced guru's and get on ebay and look up 27" Supergrip wheels and tires... I have them on mine and they are awesome was only like 450 for the set shipped... best buy yet... have a 1" offset so you have a full 2" wider stance and no more tippyness and at half the cost of ITPI have pictures of mine on my photo page they also shed mud better than the ITP's hope this helps
