I would like to make a set of SuperMoto wheels for my TE250 year 11. But I dont want to go with Warp9 or similar.. What Im planning is to buy the original OEM hubs, then buy spokes and make someone to lace them to a 17"rims. Is this possible considering the hubs are designed for 18 and 21" rims? is this something that will work or maybe not?
Looked into this with my old bike. If you get a rim with the right number of holes and correct length spokes it will work, but seemed to be near on same cost as a new wheel set when I added it up.
I've heard the OEM hubs for TE year 11 is japanese pattern, which I think is an advantage. The thing is warp9 kits sometimes arrive with different measures and I am in Costa Rica, central america, so I cant afford a mistake on the kit, because if I need to send them back, it will be far expensive. I prefer to make someone here, to lace the rims with spokes to the OEM hubs. At the end, did you put it together and worked fine?
Mate I'm in Australia, I was in the same boat. I just bought from Warp 9, measured up the hubs to double check and the wheels were perfect. The brake relocation bracket was the wrong one, but the sent out a new one at no charge to me. Good all round service.
dude, where did you take the hub measurements? I mean, what parts do I need to measure, what are the critical parts? The inside or the outside of the Axle channel?
Inside of sprocket to inside of rear brake rotor. That was for my 2T WR but, the 2T & 4T bike run different width rear hub. All the 4T bikes are the same, easy to order, they have part numbers to suit. Try Robb Szwarc, email sales@warp9racing.com he looked after me.
