Yeah, I'm on RBK. Not much trials knowledge there. I think I have a solution, just need a large flange 36 hole Bullseye rear hub. Should be easy :/

The rear tire that came with this particular frame is a Pirelli ML14 16x2.5. So it's a 20" tire that mounts on a 16 or 396mm rim.
I have another Tree Frog, but that one seems to not be a mod setup as it's running 2" Pirellis front and rear. The mod bike has a 115mm rear axle spacing the regular one is 135mm.
I was more looking for a brand of vintage rim that would have been available in the early 90s. Tartybikes has some 36 hole Monty rims in 19". Sadly they are 36 and the hubs I have are 48. So, I may just build up a spare wheel in 19" to use the 2.5" tire and maybe buy another 2" Pirelli to put onto the 20" wheel.

Hi,
I'm restoring an old Yeti Tree Frog mod trials bike. I got it as a frame and fork only, no wheels. However it came with some Pirelli tires which I wanted to reuse. I built a set of 20" wheels with Bullseye tandem hubs. This worked fine for the front wheel but it appears that the rear tire is meant for a 16" rim (19" wheel). I can't seem to find a suitable rim (396x30) to re-lace the wheel with.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,

Here is a pic of the non mod Tree Frog. I'll post of a pic of the mod one when done.
