jandyb Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hello We were just admiring the back wheel on a Montesa the other day. The spoke and rim system is just brilliant! The question coming up was if it is possible to use a Mont rim and spokes on a GasGas hub? Anybody tried? -Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big john Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 OK then, I've got a Mont rear wheel, how do I alter it or what spacers do I use to fit my Gasser? Don't bother, sell me the wheel, I need one! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandyb Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Raga has.Its not that brilliant just different. I think brilliant because theres no holes in the rim and no problem with leaking rim tape. It also seems easyer to tighten the spokes? -Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subira Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 OK then, I've got a Mont rear wheel, how do I alter it or what spacers do I use to fit my Gasser? Keep your Mont disc side spacer as is, then nick a Sherco sprocket side spacer from Gerald or AG. Worked for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subira Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I knew this had been the subject of an earlier thread, try here including pics http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....=2086&st=20 No need to change anything apart from the spacers.

biffsgasgas Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 My roommate has taken his 2002 315r rim wheel tire disc and all and installed it on his 2004 300 pro. It was a direct swap. We didn't even need to adjust the spacers. The only major difference is that the montesa disc is floating where the gasgas's is not and the montesa sprocket uses 6 bolts instead of the 4 that gasgas uses. Both bikes have been like this all year with no issues. Plug and play! I am acutally jealous of that rim. I need to find me one. --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
