17" Derbi Wheels wanted

Post by grunbay » Thu Oct 18, 2018 7:45 pm

I am looking to buy a set of 17" wheels to fit my 2000 Derbi GPR. As I understand it, spoked wheels from a Derbi SM 50 will also fit. Let me know if you have anything.

I'm pretty sure that Senda wheels wont fit on the older GPRs without a lot of work. Also, the discs are of different sizes, and they have different bolt patterns too. Later Sendas that came with mags can probably swap around with GPRs from the same vintage. We didn't get those bikes over here so I've not had opportunity to find out empirically.

The years that the Cagiva framed GPRs (the kind like you have) came with 17" wheels were 2002-2004 in the States. The wheels on the 2005 bikes wont fit because they are wider. The discs will fit from the various different years, but you'll have to mod the caliper mount to use the 300mm disc on the older bike that was fitted with the 260mm disc.

For most types of road riding with the GPRs and the 17" wheels I've found the Sava/Mitas MC18s to be the best tire. Treats has them.

There was a partially rolling chassis for sale in FL that had 17". Chad said his friend was going to pick it up, but it was listed again recently. It's in the Craig's list thread somewhere.

Thanks for the good information, Tora. I thought that the Senda wheels might not work. A friend of mine insisted they did, but it looks like too much work to get them up to speed.
