hello eavryone. i am looking to get a paddle but i only have 1 rim and i dont always ride in lose terrain. so i want to get another rim so i can just swap when we go to the lose riding spots. but i want to get an 18 inch rim so i have more options open to tires but i have a low bugget so i wanted to know if theres any 18 inch rims off any other bike that will fit the 91 kx500 i was looking at the older kdx200 but i didit really find an anwser any help would be great.

I would PM alward25 and see what he has available.
If he offers no help then I would contact http://www.procycle.us/ (http://www.procycle.us/) as they have done some custom stuff for me from time to time.

I know 89-94 KDX200 wheels are the same or real close. Don't remember what spacers I used. I think they were the 500 ones.

Team green bulletin was to run a 87 era 500 rear wheel.
thats how mine is setup.

OK thx eavryone. i will probly try to get an older 500 rim that looks to be the cheapist route to go thx agein

The real minus is finding one that is not torched. Seized spokes, bad wheel bearings. Hard to find old stuff like that in good shape. Good luck!

like my old stock wheels were :|....rear hub was beyond shot!!....and spraying PB Blaster on the nips and letting em sit over night did nuthin.
gave me all the incentive to make sure that my new ones don't get like that.

When the spokes get that bad here is how I do it.

I saw that on your forum before, it looks effective.
but for my lazy a$$...I found it much easier and quicker to just buy a brand new set of complete wheels...bolt on-n-go :-P

Yeah, but your loaded with cash :-P

haha...that's ONLY because I've never been married, and never had kids(that I know of)....having the job I do helps a bit also. :-)

That's where I went wrong...
Married for 30 years, had two kids, and had crappy jobs!
-
yeah, but at least you gained a son as a riding buddy...that alone is priceless!

Tis true.
