TDR250 Rear wheel into RD350 YPVS

[golgo47]

I am desperately trying to find a rear spoked donor wheel for an RD350 YPVS. The best I have found so far is a TDR250 rear wheel.

Anyone had any experience with this or have any ideas on how to fit a 17" spoked rear wheel (with disc brake) to a RZ/RD350?

I don't need a fat wheel just the standard 110 rear or maybe 120.

I don't mind making spacers or caliper brackets just looking for something that lines up with the front sprocket fairly well.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I have such a wheel in my RD... but I use a FZ600 Swingarm... If you want to do it in the RZ it almost fits - but you need another rear brake...

Look here:







My rear brake is a brembo / Aprillia Mille Mix - but the FZ Swinger is wider than the RD Part!

Thanks Peter, I have already been admiring your RD for some time now and have wondered what rear wheel you were using, now I know!

How is the alignment between rear and front sprocket? Are you using an offset front sprocket or is this not required?

Hi,

If You Don t want a bigger tire the original TDR Hub will fit!!

Magnificent Bike, Peter. Well done.
Noticed that the fork tubes have their Air valves sticking up. I find those unnecessarily frightening
Is there a way to remove them.. sure looks like a horrible injury source.
Surprised about that.. in Germany
