Posted May 8, 201212 yr i would like to build an 18 inch front wheel for my DT to use some road tyres I have, and was wondering what rims would fit, I have learned that you cant just chuck any old 36 hole rim on because the angles are different due to hub diameters etc. Does anyone have any ideas?? Cheers Ed
May 8, 201212 yr Moderator have you considere fitting 21" road tyres eddie? Avon Distanzia for example
May 8, 201212 yr Author Yes I have, I.just fancied something different to be honest. Sort of flatracker, sort of supermoto. I'll still have my standard wheels for when.I want to get it dirty. I could have a new rim drilled, but funds wont allow that!
May 8, 201212 yr Will a front wheel from another yamaha fit such as a YB 100 like this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-YB100-YB-100-MOTORBIKE-BREAKING-FRONT-WHEEL-LEGAL-TYRE-VERY-NICE-/280872741422?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item416551ea2e
May 8, 201212 yr Author A mate and I were discussing that, unsure of spindle brake, and width measurement. Be nice to just find a rim that laces up with a dt hub.
