1978 18" Spoke wheel - Diskbrake front and rear

[Kiliman]

Hello

I got a problem. I have a 18 inch set of spoke wheels from a american '78 2a2 with Diskbrake front and rear. The wheels are original but I can't find a spokeset that fits. Every spokeset I find is for rear drumbrake. Can someone tell me the exact name of this model or can tell me where I can find the right spokeset?

Spokewheel rear

willkommen Kilian

you need a spoke set from an xs250

part #1j3-25304-01 rear
part # 351-25104-00 front these are the same part numbers as the RD250/4-- D/E

this person sold me both the spokeset for the tracker and are good.

Pictures please. I have never seen or heard of an XS400 SOHC with rear spokes and a disk...The only rear disk models I know of is with a mag...

Saw them, was hoping to see pics of a factory bike with them...Spokes with disks look great, I wish more bikes would have come with them...

Ah nice to see that there are others around =)

I just got pictures where it is already partly disassembled:

Thanks drewpy for the tip with the seller - I am waiting for response so far.

Now I got everything together, exept the new spokes =)

I compared the rims - they are exactly the same on the RD250 and XS400, only the hubs of the wheels differ and with them the lengths of the spokes, but not their angle.

I am currently writing with the seller and it seems that I am getting my spokes.

good to hear, I did say it was front only for the RD match

im looking for disk brakes for my 1978 xs400 spokes, we,ll start with the front. can anyone tell me what i should be looking for? or better yet sell me one ?

I think spokes or mags makes no difference for the diskbrake.
