  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

So looks like my factory Excel rear wheels on my 2006 WR250 is pretty bent and I'd like to replace it. Can I just buy any aftermarket Excel or DID wheel as long as it has the same amount of spokes or does it need to be specific to our bikes? I will be replacing spokes and nips as well, but re-using the hubs at this point since they are fine.
 
It will need to be a husky specific unless you get custom made spokes. You should be aware the 2011 and newer husky wheels are different as well.
 
Wats diffrent on the newer wheels rancher for the 250/300? Thought they r same as old big hub style?
 
So the 36 hole excel wheels will not fit as long as they are the same height and width as stock? Is the spoke pattern different or something? What's husky specific about the stock excels?
 
They switched the indexing of the wheels. You are correct the WR 250/300 did not change though. It is just easier shopping to stay in the 2004 - 2010 year range then there is no question of will it fit.
 
Is there any company that offer complete wheelsets for these bikes with billet hubs that have the same bolt pattern as stock for sprocket and brake disc? I see Warp 9 will build a set, but looks like they have a different sprocket and brake disc the hubs come with. Also not sure how decent the quality is on those Warp 9 rims compared to an Excel.
