will they all fit a dt re speedo drive?

Seiki · Admin

Speedo drive is usually the same through the years. If it doesn't fit just source a new one man off ebay

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

just bought one lol looking hard to find an 18' wheel

Seiki · Admin

Then it won't be proper SM if SM at all man, better off just sourcing a new wheel off eBay

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

why would it not be a sm? i just need either my wheel rebuilding with new spokes or anoth sm wheel which will take my speedo drive

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

doesnt sound like a dt wheel and unless that speedo drive is from the bike the wheel came from it will be wrong allso it might be help full to get some photos up of the drive u have and wheel

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

ahhh....aint got a clue what to do now then lol.... some spokes are seized and i dont know weather to get another wheel or get it repaired.... cry someone help? lol

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

what do u mean seized? are they lose or what? if it just a few id cut them out and put new ones in normally its about mabey £2 for a spoke then the work and as to completly relace a wheel is about £50 and your looking at over 80 for a wheel if you can get one at all

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

some wont turn, i took it to a garage and he couldnt turn some and some are loose

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

ok so the ones that wont turn eather hes being a arse and not trying but id just get the sezed ones replaced then trued up and ull be all good

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

Seiki · Admin

Yeah I thought he was just worried about fitment. It's all about the Vapour :D

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

just found a dt wheel on ebay phoned the guy and he said it will fit so just ordered that...he also said speedo drive will fit aswell

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

what size wheel? and seiki i thought the same about the vapour but when i had a set i dident like them to jump rev countor bit wasent smooth and found i would miss the diles alot more haha im going to get a digi set for my sv when i get it thou

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

got a 21 hmm

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

then im sorry to tell you you will more then likely need new forks and caliper the standard dt break disk are smaller then the disk on your wheel there for the wheel will bolt on but will not go into the caliper so ull need dtr/dtre forks and dtr/dtre front caliper aswell to go with it and if u would of said u was going to go with a normall 21 inch wheel i could of mate u a deal i think iv got 2 or 2 siting in my shed and got forks and caliper

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

i really hope this is not the case, im not sure which forks are on the bike to be honest ideally i would have liked to keep the wheels on the bike but with the guy who was breaking a dt saying it will fit straight on i just thought of the easy option.

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

ok mate can you take a photo of your forks and the front break caliper then we can tell you if a standard dt wheel will fit

romeopat · DTR Senior Member

i have uploaded some pics hope they will take the wheel i have ordered

https://s1090.photobucket.com/albums/i375/romeopat/dt%20forks/

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

no mate it wont fit well the wheel will bolt on but your caliper wont be on the disk at all so you wont have a front break

this is what the forks and caliper look like for a dtr so these are what will work with the 21 inch wheel as you can see it doesnt fit so yours is going to be in revers as this was puting a sm wheel on dtr forks so your caliper is going to stick way out and be a small disk

NEV · Guru

If somebody could come up with measurements, theres a big chance I can make a caliper bracket up, and pass on to you lads, as this is something I'm needing to do for mine, Energizer you found that template yet mate?

Any measurements need the holes lined up horizontally, and remember to leave spacing between the disc edge and the inside of the caliper

do you have floating disk mates if so you need to get non floating disks befor u make the bracket up as the caliper is the wrong shape for the big disk and catches the floating disk bit iv got a plastic template somewer ill have a look if its right u can have it
