Rear wheel update
« on: 11 January 2020, 02:34:09 pm »
The rear wheel on my 2001 model has seen better days. I was wondering if there are any newer / lighter / better looking rear wheels from other models R1/R6 that slot straight in ( disc / sprocket alignment issues ) or is it just easier to get mine powder coated and fit new bearings?? Thanks for input / thoughts / advice / abuse !!

2003 5 spoke R6 Fronts will slot in but you will need to find discs that work or caliper spacers, discs have different amount of mounting bolts. Rears need some work as the chain side is OK but the disc side needs additional spacers and different calipers, caliper carriers and discs.


They do look better than the three spoke originals (IMHO) and have the same rim sizes so tyres stay the same.
