DT200WR restoration project pic heavy
-
@NINJA it's not mine.. just a picture I found online
-
@Louis-James AAAHHHH OK - shame but I'm sure that you'll find one from somewhere???

Here's the spare set of wheels and tyres that came with the bike.
Top brand tyres to be fair.
The rear wheel is a straight swap (3bn hub with 2.15 alloy rim)
However the front wheel has a different hub... Like the late 90s yz.
If the brake discs faces offset is correct then I could turn the hub in a lathe to get the brake disc to fit,Not really sure what I want to do with these wheels. Part of me wants to build them up with purple hubs and stainless spokes.
I'd probably sell the tyres as they are MX ones
-
@Louis-James you tried DTX wheels in your WR? I'm going to run mine this year as-is and rebuild it next winter but would like to sumo it and use as a commuter.
Bike looks great btw!
Carriers are ten a penny in Thailand and South America

-
@Glynn123 do you have a picture of the front wheel?
Is the tire on it? -
@Nottsbiker thanks mate. The only wheels I've put on my dt200wr are the original ones.
I will probably sell both tyres and the front complete wheel
-
@Louis-James yeah there's some dualsport tyre on it right now, I'll try get a picture when I finish work in the morning, should get back to you sometime over the weekend if not though
-
@Glynn123 ok thanks.
Would you prefer to sell the whole set up? Or do you want the tyre?
-
@Louis-James I'd be happy to sell the whole lot if you wanted, I have no use for the tyre as my DT is just in sm trim and should be staying that way
-
@Glynn123 did you fit wr200 forks?
Just after the front wheel tbh.
Thanks -
@Louis-James I fit WR 426 forks but made my own custom axle to run the standard DTR/WR200 front hub sizes, the WR200 front disc was the same size as a standard nissin front brake system on a WR 426 so was a better wheel choice than changing calipers to use the smaller DTR wheel and disc combo
-
@Glynn123 the front wheel I have looks exactly like a wr400 or wr426.
-
@Louis-James the axle is larger in the 400/426, the WR 200 wheels I bought use the same size axle as a DT, I actually ran them with the DT spacers on my standard forks for a while. Is this the same with yours?
-
@Glynn123 I haven't tried them on yet. But you could use bearings with small ID?
-
@Glynn123 according to the All Ball's site the 400 front end fits straight onto the 200. Guessing it wasn't as easy as that for the 125?
-
@Nottsbiker are you referring to the front wheel or fork assembly mate?
-
Sorry - meant to say the 400 front end complete - yokes / forks etc
