Title: Wanted: 21'' Yamaha DT1-DT3 front wheel.
Post by: firko on February 05, 2013, 10:27:30 am

I'm converting my DT1 Enduro over to GYT-MX specs so I need a steel rimmed 21'' front wheel with the full width hub, preferably in mint or near perfect condition from either a DT1-DT3 or RT1-RT3. Because the bike is fully restored I want a wheel that'll fit that standard of presentation without having to go through the wheel rebuild process.
Below: this is the wheel I need.....and the bike I want to fit it to.

here's a possability for you Firko.
i just dismantled my RT1 front wheel the other day to use the rim for another project.
i have 2 hubs/2backing plates, not quite mint but one will clean up well.
the spokes are genuine Yamaha and in very good 2nd hand condition.
 i don't have a steel rim unfortunately.
my RT1 now runs the lighter AT1 style 21" front wheel, so i won't be needing the RT/DT1 style Hubs or spokes.

If you end up waiting awhile I may switch to Excel rims on the RT-1 and will have no use for the steel rims, besides boat anchors.  ;D

Thanks Jay but you may be just a tad geographically inconvenient, although, if the rim is perfect or near perfect we might be able to work something out ;). Using Excel rims breaks my poor soggy heart mate :'(. I can live with them if the Excel logo has been removed but seeing that big logo on an ancient bike like an RT1 looks all wrong to me, no matter how good the rims are.
