Baldini Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I know this has been discussed before - couldn't find on search. Do both wheels from 00 V11 (4.5" rear rim) drop straight into 02 Ohlins equipped Scura? No different spacers, axle diameters/lengths etc? There was talk the 02 s/a is wider... Anyone done this? Anyone know? Thanks. KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big J Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Wasn't there some talk about the swingarm being kicked out to clear the wider wheel?( Can't find it either) Remember to check the wheel bearing spacer(to the nearest tenth of a thou should do) and contact young Mr Roper for the correct vegetable intake prior to torquing.

callison Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 When the manufacturer of these wheels makes a new width rim, they don't typically change the hub - just the rim portion. To do otherwise would burden the designers, bike manufacturers and the foundry to name a few, with additional measurements, molds ad infinitum. I will go so far as to say that ALL of the components that comprise the brakes, spacers, wheel bearings etc are identical for the 4.5 and 5.5 inch rims. I have a Marchesini front wheel on my V11 Sport that I got off of eBay that was on a Japanese bike (or something, certainly not a Guzzi). All I had to do was pop out the bearings and install the correct Guzzi ones as well as the Guzzi spacer and bolt on the correct Brembo rotors for the bike. There are no differences in the basic wheel. Just the spacers, bearings and rotors to accommodate the various manufacturers fork width etc. The 4.5 and 5.5 rims should interchange with no problem.
