cNw does offer a complete wheel building service.  I have teamed up with Buchanan’s Spoke and Rim to offer the highest quality possible. cNw does have an agreement with Buchanans for a show finish, not available from them directly.  Mount a stunning set of fresh wheels on your Commando to take it to the next level of finish and performance. Of course, we recommend to start with our complete hub modifications to ensure that the entire package is as good as it gets

Note:  I offer the same pricing as if you were to purchase product and services directly from Buchanan’s

The standard wheel combination on cNw build is with a 19″ front and an 18″ rear. This combination will give you a far better rear tire selection since a rear 19″ size is virtually obsolete. We also use a slightly wider rear tire and when the tire gets wider, it also gets a taller side wall. The net result is that our 100/90-19″ front and 120/90-18″ rear actually has the same rolling diameter (height). In other words, the chassis will sit exactly the same as if you were running tires of the same size, front and rear

Also know that a specific width/sidewall height is not necessarily the same when comparing different brand tires. We currently are using the Bridgestone BT46 (performance compound) as a std tire, The rear 120 size has a shaved down sidewall that allows this to fit well inside the Commando swing arm

When getting a tire installed by cNw it will be a ‘fresh’ tire with a current build date and not an older tire that are often the only ones available at discount outlets. Also consider that the tire machine used is a 'no touch' machine that is critical to ensure that there is no damage to the alloy rim when installing the tire

I can of course build your wheels with any rim size and tire combination that you want

• Sun Rim – wm 3 (2.15) Front $ 294.00 / wm 4.5 (2.75) Rear $ 315.00

Contact me to talk about your new wheels. Several different finish options to consider and I can show you detailed images of those. 

Time line for a set of wheels is about 6 weeks from when I have the hubs at my shop
