749 front wheel question..

[Deton8d]

What front wheels will fit on a 749? I know all the 749/999 wheels will, but what about the 1098/848 front, or other models?

Also, are all the wheels on all models the same as far as weight and material? Or did some models get a cast wheel, some get a forged wheel, etc?

749-999-1098-848 front wheels are the same configuration.

S bikes got forged wheels

You can use 916 front wheels with 998R offset brake discs. I ran one in my race 999R. Only thing you need is wheel spacers. If you like, I´ll dig them out and give you the dimensions.

Thats good to know. I'll keep that in mind, but I already have an extra set of rotors for the 749 style wheels so I'm going to try to find a wheel that works with them first

Greg,

Chuck @ Gotham Cycles carries a lot of used Duc parts. I see he's got a 749/999 front wheel...cast aluminum for sale. It's grey but I'd figure you could paint/powdercoat it black. Link

An S4RS or S4R (testastretta only) will also fit.
