FAQs

Can I use this rim on a Honda CR250?

This specific rim is engineered for the CR125 hub spacing and spoke pattern. Check manufacturer specifications before attempting to fit it on other models.

Do I need new spokes when replacing my old rim with an Excel Takasago?

It is highly recommended to use new, high-quality spokes and nipples when installing a new rim to ensure safety and longevity.

Is this rim tubeless compatible?

The Excel Takasago rim is designed for traditional tube-type motocross tires.

How do I maintain the silver finish?

Wash with mild soap and water. Avoid pressure washing directly into the spoke nipples or using chemical degreasers that could damage the anodization.

Does the rim come with pre-drilled holes?

Yes, the rim comes pre-drilled and ready to be laced to the compatible hub series.

Troubleshooting

Spokes loosening after installation

It is normal for new spokes to stretch slightly; re-torque them to the manufacturer's specifications after the first three rides.

Rim wobbling during rotation

The wheel is likely out of true. Have a professional technician re-adjust the spoke tension to align the rim.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for improved agility
  • High resistance to corrosion due to premium anodizing
  • Compatible with both stock and various aftermarket hubs
  • Iconic, high-end appearance for motorcycle restorations

Cons

  • Requires professional installation and wheel building skills
  • Specific to 2002-2007 Honda CR125 models, limiting universal use
  • Price point reflects premium construction materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, assembly should be handled by a professional wheel builder. This process involves lacing the rim to the hub with spokes cut to the correct length and tensioning them to specific torque settings. Regularly check your spoke tension after the first few hours of riding, as new spokes tend to seat themselves and may loosen slightly. To clean, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush; avoid harsh acidic cleaners, as these can strip the anodized finish and lead to oxidation over time. Always inspect the rim edge for dings or cracks after high-impact events.
