Posted May 14, 20159 yr Hiya guys im after some advice i want to supermoto my bike without the daft cost of supermoto wheels are there any wheels i could use like tzr wheels something like that any info would be greatly appreciated
May 14, 20159 yr You can just buy some SM rims and use your original hubs. Problem with changing the whole wheel is that you have to modify things like brake calipers and mountings. Plus you have wheel spacers to think about and sprockets / discs etc. You can pick rims up fairly cheap on eBay
May 14, 20159 yr Author Ok thanks for the advice i wanted to keep my original wheels so i had set for off road and a set for daily use
May 14, 20159 yr Author Think thats what im going to do was hoping to put tzr wheels on cos they look cool but researched it and im not much of an engineer lol
May 15, 20159 yr Moderator You might even luck out on some damaged rims, you don't want mint just the hubs. Junk the damage rebuild/paint the hubs and re lace em. Cheap sm set.
May 19, 20159 yr tzr wheels will have a lot smaller axle in them. i had a yz250 that i fitted fzr400 wheels into but it was a pain getting spacers made up. as the guys said pick up a set of s/h mx wheels and convert them. make sure you check the axle dia as yamaha changed them around 03/04 and made them bigger. 125/250/426 all ran the same sizes each year.
September 30, 20159 yr Author I fitted some aprillia rs125 wheels and changed bearings i had to use a rear spindle of a CR125 for the rear though but worked a treat thanks for adviceĀ
