    Varadero wheels on a Transalp?

    Hi,
    did the search but only got a thread from '06 and there wasnt an answer.

    My wheels have corroded ('03, 650) and instead of getting the rims done (in one place) and then bringing it to another to get the new spokes put in (very few of them around Dublin) - I was thinking would the Varadero wheels fit.

    The 3 spokers would save me some trouble & time.
    And would this allow for tubless tyres?

    So any idea?

    Thanks for any thoughts

    I don't know but I was wondering something similar myself (Just got the first bit of rust on a single spoke so a little time before I need to worry)

    It it were almost any of my old bikes I would say just nip down to the breakers and find someone who wrapped thier new one around a tree but TA riders don't seem to ride like idiots (and I've mellowed on it as well) so... Any thoughts?

    It all depends on the sizes and hubs, bearings and disc mounts
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
