Hey there - did a search and didn't find anything.

Has anyone tried putting F4i rims on an F4? I have found a few sets of rims locally from an old F4i track bike... I'd like to have 1-2 spare sets of rims (one for rain, one for new rubber and one on the bike) just to save time swapping tires.

Any information or pointers would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

the rims i know are different and i believe you will need new every thing to make them work i.e. rotors, axles, crush drive. i want the f4i wheels 2 they are lighter. i belive the first 600rr's have the same wheels too.

 

i take that back the rr's different as well

 

F4 and F4i wheels are the same. RR wheels use a bigger axle (the rear I know does for sure) thus have larger diameter bearings. The cush drive may be diff, my F4 has the same cush as a RR with the exception of the bearings. I had to get a sprocket for a RR, but the book said it used a diff one.

 

every aftermarket company list the front rotors being different for the f4 and f4i the rear rotor is the same. and the crush drive are differnt

the left front collars are the same but the front right collars are different thats weird

 

k, I think the RR rear rotor is the same too.

 

HRM - looks like I should keep looking for F4 wheels then... Thanks for the info guys.
