Axle Spacers: 1*98 Forks + 748/9*6/998 Wheel

[junior varsity]

For the project bike:

I have 1198 Forks (they are radial-brake mount, obviously).

I have 1198 Axle and Nut.

I have 998 Wheel (which I intend to use, somehow)

What I know:

* Need 15mm offset rotors, 6 bolt (a la 998R), or 10mm offset, 6 bolt rotors and 5mm spacers

Where I need help:
* Need some spacers for left and right side of wheel on axle to keep wheel in middle. I've read that people have modified 848/1198 wheel spacers (LH/RH) to work by removing/adding material (~0.5mm).

I've done some web searching, but am coming up with a lack of information on the dimensions of the ideal spacers. If I can figure this out, I can commission a machine shop to make me some nice, correct, precise alu or ti spacers. (Ideal solution).

Paging MonsterMash. Paging Hooligan Machinist. Paging other Creative Folks or those with appropriate resources, such as 1198 wheels to measure

On my Monster I ended up using the 1098 axle AND nut (it's different than the monster one), one spacer from the Monster and one from the 1098.
I used my stock Monster wheel with 15mm 6-bolt rotors from Braking.
everything lined up perfect.

the reason i used the 15mm 6-bolt instead of 10mm with spacers is teh hubcentric design of the rotors. The guy I was working with was concerned about safety, and as I remember back to my Fiat days, hubcentric is critical to alignment and load bearing. So, I searched for an finally found the Braking rotors.

I see.... one of the concerns with the 748/996 wheel is the speedometer pickup cutout in the wheel.

I was looking at the 15mm offset / 6 bolt rotors from braketech and the brembo hp series (for the 998R)

Since you have to buy rotors anyway...

Sell 998 wheel, buy 999/848/1098 wheel and buy stock/matching rotors.

[junior varsity]

they don't make a 5 spoke bst that's for the 1198...

[junior varsity]

and i kind of want them thar wheels to match

[TAftonomos]

If you are using a 5 spoke 998 wheel, it isn't going to match a 1198 anyway....those spokes are fan'd out a bit.

I know BST makes a 5 spoke front that will work on a hyper/s4rs/848/1098....I just mounted a tire up on it (along with some CMC rotors) for my monster.

[junior varsity]

its 5 spoke 998 wheels on a 748, 1198 forks.

[TAftonomos]

I'm saying BST makes a 5 spoke wheel for 5 bolt rotor fitment, which is the right size you need.  I know cause I just got done mounting it up on the monster (with 1098 forks...which are the same as 1198 forks).

oh. i did not know this - i thought they only made a 7 spoke

have a link?
