mcman56 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I have a Reflex model that comes with steel wheels and 12mm axels. XL & XR200 wheels are aluminium and readily available but are they a true weight advantage???? The XL/XR front wheel has a 15mm axel and bigger bearings. The XL/ XR rear wheel has a 17 mm axle, much bigger bearings and a slightly bigger brake drum diameter (same diameter as Reflex front brake). The Reflex could be adapted to the 17mm rear axel size and may pick up some rigidity but it probably is not be a good idea to open up the forks for a larger front axle. Does anyone have weights for these different wheels or tried the conversion? What does the English TLR200 have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevec Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I found a pair of DID rims from a TL125 on ebay and laced them to my Reflex hubs. The only modification needed was to slightly enlarge the front rim holes for the Reflex spoke nipples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
