SM Conversion Question
Permalink  
 


I've got an 06 dt125re and was wondering whether 06 sm wheels would just bolt straight in? Would i need the whole front end? 

Also, is there much of a difference between the dt sm wheels and the wr125 sm wheels? Could these fit?

you will need the forks, wheel, spindle and spacers and brake setup for the front end off either the dtx or wr (dtx is excel and wr is saxess) rear wheel should bolt straight on

Used to go off roading all the time. But slowly all my mates got rid of their dt's. You still can go off road with these wheels. Just less grip.

i wouldn't have a chance with sm wheels on the lanes, i always aim for the muddiest part of the trail, it'd be hopeless biggrin not usually a fan of mag style rims but those wheels look tasty

I was going to get excel but seems like everyone's got em. I would have rebuilt the excels to have gorgeous stainless steel spokes :D

Yeah mate. Cost me enough!

It's just something different. It's not everyones taste. It was these wheels or the older style 3 spoke ones off the older ones. Or the five spoke ones off the single sided swing arm. But that wouldn't have been possible.

Should look good when it's all finished.
