18 inch wheel question.

[elvisrock]

Hi - I've seen an RD250 18 inch rear wheel for sale. Does anyone know if they fit xs models? the reason I ask is that the mags style wheels look the same.
thanks

WOW! Thanks, that looks cool but a bit more heavy duty than what I'm after.

If it doesnt fit ,its not a big job to swap out the bearings.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone know if RD wheels do fit the XS forks and swingarm? I keep seeing them advertised on ebay for as compatible with both? but I'm not sure?

Thanks in advance.

Are you making a motocross oe enduro bike out of your XS

 

[elvisrock]

Neither, that's not my bike. I'm just interested in the whether XS and RD are the same wheel or not as it would allow me to widen my search for suitable wheels, as xs 18" wheels don't come up for sale that often in the UK, especially spoked ones, and when they do they cost loads. Any suggestions much appreciated

you'll even have issues obtaining RD wires as they are even more sought after.

In answer to your question, I think the E models are the same.

I have had to buy the whole bike just for the wires
one on ebay now

Thanks Drewpy, I have seen that bike too, they had it advertised a few weeks back but they took it down, i think cos they didn't get the price they wanted.
