I've got an SMR 511 and want to ditch the 4.25 rear wheel. Simplest solution seems to lace up a 5" rim to the stock hub. Any tips on who is selling them in the USA?
Im going back to the 4 1/2" rim from a 5" because of clearance issues with the chain guide block if i have to move the wheel back any further for chain tension adjustment
Try warp 9. 5 inch rim depending on tire will most likely rub. 4.5 was max for me with Michelin pilot powers
I'm in the same situation. 150/60 tires are getting near impossible to find now in the soft compounds required for supermoto. Both the Metzeler Racetec K1/K2 as well as the Pirelli Supercorsa SC1/TD tires in the 150/60 size have been discontinued. I'm now forced to upgrade to a 5.0" rim despite the clearance issues when running a shortened chain adjuster. Can anyone confirm if maybe the KTM 540/625/690 Behr wheels have the same hoop hole pattern and spoke angle as the hoop on our bikes so that maybe I can find a spare KTM wheel and de-lace the 5" hoop from it and re-lace it onto my Husky wheel. As far as I know, all Huskies (besides the unicorn SM450RR) came with the 4.25" rear wheel stock.
