Right ok thanks. Can I use my hubs & get them wired onto some other 17” rims or will that not work

 

[NORTE23]

Yeah I will thanks. I’ve also been told that I need to change the stroke as a crosser, enduro & Supermoto all have different stroke lengths! Is this right ??

 

[NORTE23]

Yeah I wasn’t sure if he was or not to be fair. He’s one of those people where you can’t tell if he’s serious or not 🤣

Thinking of getting the wheels & tyres from 24MX. Anyone used them?

 

[NORTE23]

Ok so I bought the Twenty wheels from 24MX.

they look good quality. Also got a 14T & 44T sprockets & a 520 X Ring chain. Is the chain tension the same for both off & on road?

 

[NORTE23]

Oh n I got some boots too 👍🏻

obviously I’m putting tubes in them with the wheels being spokes so is this rim tape stuff I need special stuff ? Or is it just tape? Like duct tape or gorilla tape. Stupid question probably but not if you don’t know right 🤔

 

[NORTE23]

Demon Tweeks saves the day. Went over & got rim tape, inner tubes & a filter at the same time. They couldn’t fit me in to fit the tyres so I thought feck it I’ll do it my self. Can’t believe how easy it was.

[NORTE23]

What sort of tyre pressures should I be running for road use ??

 

[NORTE23]

well it appears with the standard bolts for the brake disc they hit the caliper carrier.

 

[NORTE23]

Well I was thinking that but it measures 180mm from spacer to spacer the same as the dirt wheel does.

 

[NORTE23]

Mire likely the Chinese got the spacer dimension slightly out. Is the wheel slighty towards the left?

It actually needs to be more to the left if your looking from behind it for the bolts to clear. I’m in work tonight so I’ll get some M6 low profile bolts.

Rim tape / tubeless. Lots of info out there about doing a tubeless conversion on spoked rims using 3M 4411 / 12N extreme sealing tape. I did it on some alpina wheels when they starting leaking at the spoke 0 rings. Many thousands of miles later, still good.

Oh right cool. Thanks for the info. I’m glad someone can actually say they have done it & how long it lasts as all the videos just say it’s done like this but then no time line info. Much appreciated

 

[NORTE23]

Great info pal thanks. My fork guards aren’t wrap arounds anyway & have a designed in type of cut out so I had no worries there. Got the sprockets & chain done & found the issue with brake disc bolt fouling on the caliper carrier, turns out the spacers are labelled wrong. Right is labelled left & left labelled right, swapped them round & all fits nice. I’m in work now in the process of fabricating a small part to reduce chain run on the tyre. If it works I will post pics & the CAD drawings I did for it so others can replicate. Can’t wait to ride it now. Again thanks for the info. If I get any punctures I will go down that route.

 

[NORTE23]

That’s all sorted now & in line perfectly. Can’t get this WS setting to work though now. Disconnected the 3 wire plug, get WS to flash but when I press + it does nothing. Then I got the Rb 2206 battery fault so I went & got a new battery thinking it was that, replaced it but guess what…..yeah still doesn’t work.

 

[NORTE23]

Perhaps the button is faulty. Use the 4 pin connector instead.

Elaborate please

 

[NORTE23]

Haha guess what happened…………………was out riding yesterday, had done around 80 miles with regular smoke breaks. On the way home was sat at 50mph minding my own business when the engine suddenly without any warning what so ever made a loud crackling noise then a clunk & a pop & cut out. Got recovered home & left it overnight with out doing anything. Today I took the oil fill plug out & found bits everywhere inside. Looks & feels like metal particles. Now is it worth stripping & repairing or not. Do I try to find another motor. I’m presuming the repair bill will be over £1k.

 

[NORTE23]

Check the availability of engine parts for that era of motor (XC4). KTM have been known to make parts obsolete after 10 years .......

Oh great. Yeah will do. What’s it worth in current condition any ideas. Might just be easier to get rid & get another.

 

[NORTE23]

Its going to be worth what someone wants to pay! You could break it, but that is time consuming. Best bet would be to advertise it as is and test the market.

Ok I’ll throw it on the bay of E then. What sort of starting price do you think
