750 flaps on 900 rims?

[billyzz]

i have some 750 flaps that were sent to me by mistake
can i use them on my 900 budd wheels?
or should i send em back and try to find 900s?

I thought flaps were the diameter of the rim and not specific like tubes?

they say on the tag
7.50x16 flaps

I have to assume they are for 16" wheels - that said, see how wide they are. Sometimes, there is not too much difference. If they don't fit properly, you will pay for it down the road, by chaffing the tube, causing failure. If your not thoroughly familiar with how they should fit (a lot of Folks today are not well experienced with lock rings), don't take a chance on it.

on the lucas website
these flaps are the suggested product to go with 9x16 tires and tubes
i freaked out when i saw they say 750x9 on them.
i dunno
never heard of budd rims either.....

750 x 9 is a totally different animal for a 9 inch rim.

Was is the diameter of the flap? 16 or 9 ?

Only difference is where the stem pops through the flap
