RS wheel fitting

dukess1999 · 23-Dec-2004, 17:38

Just bought an RS mag rear wheel off Ebay under the mistaken impression it would fit my 748; the RS axle must have a much thicker shaft. Shame, because it's beautifully light.
Anyone any idea if it's possible to make it fit eg RS axle, shimmed stock one etc?

Cheers,

Short of buying an RS rear hub, brake assembly and swinging arm, you ain't gonna make that fit, I am afraid. Stick it back on ebay. How much was it out of interest? Is it the braced or unbraced version?

Thanks, thought as much.
It was £180 which I thought was a bargain considering it looks almost unused.
Not sure what a braced/unbraced wheel looks like.
