Rear wheel diameter

My Dexta has 24" rear wheels but I see the manual refers to 28" wheels. Were export (New Zealand) machines fitted with 24" as standard?

It's worth a search on here & the old site on wheels - there is a ton of info on wheels/tyres. May not answer your specific Q about export standard. :wink:
All the best,

pjjms, I think you will find 28" rims with 10x28 4 ply on Dextas were standard. 24" rims with14.9-24 were optional, but its probably more common to find Super Dextas with the optional 24" rims than with 28" rims in New Zealand. :thumbs: Cheers TSG.

The Standard rear tyre is 11 x 28.

Optionally the following were possible :
10 x 28 , 12 x 28 and 13 x 24

The 13 needs 24 dia to keep enough clearance between mudguard and tyre when put at narrowest width (52")
