Well, standard size rims for GG SM is 3,5 and 4,25 (got a pair myself.)
What will be a strait fit? You got to tell what rims, wheel-bolt size, where it comes from etc.

KTM will fit, but have to machine some.

Rims are interchangeable until they drill the the spoke holes. You would think all bike companies would use the same spoke lacing pattern but they don't. GasGas pattern is different from the big 5 bike companies.

Your mate should buy you some new exel rims and get them laced to your hubs
The sizes are the same

Rims are interchangeable until they drill the the spoke holes. You would think all bike companies would use the same spoke lacing pattern but they don't. GasGas pattern is different from the big 5 bike companies. Each spoke hole is drilled in a combination of two directions (front, rear, left , right). When comparing rims side by side you will see that every other spoke hole is the same but the ones in between will go to the same side but in opposite directions.

Thats the kit Ive got.

Wheels do fit perfect, so do brakes.

1 thing thought, is the speedometer. The magnet will not fit. Ive got a topic out looking for answers, but no one knows.

Just buy it, small things like speedo magnet+sensor is small things to worry about.

I'm sure you don't mean to be misleading but some people "might" be mislead by it. To match a rim to a hub they must both be drilled to the same spoke pattern. Exel does sell aftermarket rims that fit GasGas but they are drilled with a different spoke pattern. This info was given to me by an Exel representative and confirmed by myself by comparing a KDX and gasser rim.

A GasGas wheel and hub are just that. Nothing else fits without mods. Talk to GoFasters or a local dealer they have plenty of anodized gold red and silver rims. I have been meaning to convert to gold rims.

Just went to fit the kit the front axle is loose in the new wheel am I needing a new axle or is something wrong with the wheels/ wrong bearings ? As the spacers don't seem to fit nicely either there's lots of room?

 

[Niall-griffiths]

Would swapping the bearings over work ?

Probably would work. Would need to swap the inner spacer as well as outer spacers.

 

[Niall-griffiths]

Have the same problem with the rear the spacers dont seem to fit in the new bearings arghhhhhhh is it worth trying to swap the bearings over or would it be looking like this is just plain wrong?
