busyeddie Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 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??

busyeddie Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayruf Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busyeddie Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
