Title: Question about rear wheel stuff
Post by: Alphamazing on December 30, 2005, 10:59:02 PM
A guy contacted me about one of the AlphaSports GT250 wheels I posted about. A few things he needed to know (so we can know if this will even be worth it)

What is the rear axle size (20mm I think?), and what are the chain and hub offsets?

I can't tell you the axle diameter right now but I'll check tomorrow if no one else chimes in.

The offsets aren't consequential, though.  They can be fixed by any machine shop and sprocket specialists carry various offset front sprockets to do the lining up.  It's a key process in mating a CBR/ZXR rear end to an EX500.

I'd wanted to say that the rear axle is 20mm, but when I went to check the parts phish, the bearings are 17mm inner diameter, so...

Front is 14mm (in case you want to have matching wheels  ;)  )
