Does anyone know if a 1975 CR125 front wheel with hub fits a 1975 CR250? Trying to find a replacement for CR250. Thanks in advance |

I wouldn't recommend installing a '75 CR125 front brake on anything. ![]() What I would try to find is a '76 MR250 front wheel and brake plate. This 160mm drum works really well - I was able to lock the wheel at 40mph on pavement without much effort - and should be easy to fit to the CR250 forks, provided the backing plate slot lines up with the fork stub. The total wheel/hub width (with brake) is 107mm/4.2" without the speedo drive, so it should fit between the fork legs with room to spare. The MT250 wheel/brake is pretty much identical to the MR250 and should be a lot easier to find, but it has a steel rim, if that's a problem. If you have the old CR250 wheel, you could always lace up that rim - I did this recently, it really wasn't that much work at all (the spoke nipples weren't all frozen up, though). Ray |
