hi guys , does any one know if a 06 gasser rear wheel will fit a 07 sherco?

have been offered one as a spare but just want to know if it will fit straight in or will i need some machining done. anyone tried to fit one?

It can be made to fit but will not go straight in without having some smaller spacers machined up

Ive just bought an 07 Sherco and my GAS Gas spare wheel goes in no trouble. yes its a tighter fit than the sherco wheel but it went in ok and the chain and disc line up.

am I missing somthing apart from it looks crap as the rim is the wrong colour ?

cheers

cheers for the reply guys, baldilocks did you use the sherco or gasser spacers?

Gasser spacers, Ive had another look and although the Sherco spacers look bigger than the GG ones I think the wheel bearing goes slightly further into the hub on the sherco so the end result is about the same.

have rode my new sherco yet have you and what did you think?

Have you accurately measured them both and checked the offset?

baldilocks you are correct gasser wheel fits straight in. tried the wheel in today using gas gas spacers, it fitted great, took measurements for wheel offset/disc/sprocket etc and compared to sherco wheel, all measurements within 1mm.

Thanks Spudsdad.

I'm a tad more lazy than you, I knew it was somewhere near as the chain lined up and the disc was in the middle of the caliper. I never even contemplated measuring it until I saw Dabsters comments, you saved me the job anyway.

Cheers
