    I have an SMR that uses 8mm rotor bolts, but the excel / talon wheels I just received use 6mm bolts for the front rotor. These are TE hubs, but is there any way I can make them work without buying a different rotor?

    This is really a problem with the company I ordered from, and Im questioning their determination to fix the situation in a way that will make me happy. What ever happened to customer service in this country? I will omit their name to give them a chance, but if they continue to be asshats, I will gladly inform people for years to stay away.

    BTW when I ordered the wheels, I specifically told them they are going on a 2009 SMR 450, and double checked that was what they were sending. Yet I still received a TE hub.

    I bought a spare front wheel for my SMR. Had the same problem. I just drilled out the holes and got a 8mm tap at the hardware store. Fixed.

    Im trying to avoid drilling a new Talon hub, but I had thought of that.
    another thing I had also thought of was a shouldered bolt.
    not sure where I could find one in that spec tho.

    Check Mcmaster Carr for shoulder bolts.
