Pashley load star rear wheel collapse

[james92]

Hey I have a pashley low star (Xander) cargo tricke, witch I use for my landscaping/gardening business. Today my non drive wheel collapsed and broke in half, does anyone know where I can optain a 20" rear non drive rim already spiked aither new or refurbished.
This is my only transport for work so it is a urgent request. Thank you for your help, James

Where about are you?

From Paisley!!

Ask them? If no ask for the specs many recumbents must use similar?

How do you mean collapsed? Do you need a new rim, or hub? Has the axle broken?

It might be easier to just get it fixed rather than source a completely new item.

How old is it? I'd contact Pashley personally. These things are robust. For the non drive to collapse im suspecting some sort of defect perhaps.

The hub is fine the outer rim collapsed would need new Spock as well

Have you ever tried that? They are almost famously grumpy.

I'd say it at least 25years old Thay no longer make this trike

I'd be impressed if you get swift enough action from Pashley.
If the hub is sound (which we might assume) then the quickest route has to be a wheel build using that hub - because that's the 'esoteric' element - ND rear.
A new rim will not be expensive and probably sensible to get new spokes (as the ERD will likely be different). Has to be the same number of spokes (?36) and two cross. A decent bike shop might build it with some priority if you plead necessity. Better still, build yourself and just take in for trueing.

Roger that

Ahh they make the Loadstar but that isn't quite the same. Lovely trike though! And great use of it.

Thanks all for the help think I'm gonna give it a go to rebuild it iv found the specs just need to secure the parts

I'd check the drive side wheel whilst you're at it. That axle appears to be bent. It's also missing the locking pin on the castle but.

Care relying on the specs. Count the spokes, check the cross number, measure the hub and its flanges. Calculate the ERD.
