If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

GS550T & 550E Rear Wheel Interchangability

Hi, can anyone confirm whether the 18" rear wheel from the 550E will be a bolt on swap for the 17" rear wheel on the 550T?

I checked alpha sports, and it seems like at least the 1980 550E wheel has ALMOST all the same parts; bearings, spacers, sprocket holder are all the same. The axle is one part number off and of course the rim is too.

The 1979 & 1978 550E wheels are similar, but have a few more different parts- (The sprocket holder part)

Thanks in advanced!

E has a drum brake, T has a disc?
I am parting out an L (disc) and an E, what part do you need?
 
Is the axle in the same supercession chain? If so the parts will interchange.

I believe after a certain year, the E's had a disc in the back. The images for the 78, 79 and 80 I looked at on Alpha sports had disks.

I'm just looking for an 18" rear that will fit my 81 550T.

Thanks,

Nicholas
