KTM wheel fitment

[Erwin P]

As far as i knew all KTM wheels should fit these bikes. The KTM wheels i had lying about all fitted.

However i now have ordered a 17' front wheel, with KTM spacers also perfect in centre, however the brake disc is 2mm too far outwards...
Have i been stupid and missed there are 2 kinds of KTM wheels with different disc offset or do i have a misproduction?

some variations usually with year model

KTM wheels have not changed in atleast 20 years, I think 2003 was when the current hub was first used.

 

[markhamr]

brakes probably have though
sure you can figure it out erwin
get the vernier callipers out
everyone keeps telling me it will fit
(with the right spacers in it)

Yeah this is why i'm so surprised. I know KTM used different axle thickness and spacers, but with the proper spacers all wheels fitted al bikes. That this has a different offset for the brake disc is puzzling. Maybe a mistake at the aftermarket supplier...

Check with the folks that made your new wheels. My SM 17" wheels were actually ordered for my KTM EXC and fit my Varg perfectly.

Erwin,
Could it be that your KTM wheels that fitted had brake disc for Beta? They are not the same as the KTM.

 

[Erwin P]

@FYR for what year EXC are your wheels?
I will contact them monday.

The KTM front discs are the same size and are interchangeble with Beta and Stark (on both i have used KTM discs in the past). When i offset the wheel 2mm they slide perfect in the brake caliper. Anyhow the thickness is the same so even if they are wildly different i shouldn't have this issue.
