RAD MFG wheels?

Has anybody had experience with these? I have a broken rear hub on my 1996 and I do not know of anywhere else that makes aftermarket hubs for our bikes.

If anyone has a stock one in good shape, I have $$ ready
I could also use a service manual.
Thanks!

RAD MFG wheels?

Thats dam pricey and if your not sponsored or worry about your mashed tators count then its not needed.

I would just pick up a used rim off of ebay or see if someone has one here. Thats what I did. I broke my hub when removing bearing. I pulled the c clip but however a piece stuck in and rusted there. Drove bearing out with piece of hub. Hub was trashed and pretty much had to buy a whole tire for the hub.

Theres several here thats posted full kdx part outs that youll be able to find one here.

Most dont part out with a spare rear wheel. Most cases it gets a different tire mounted for other riding conditions. Winter riding with spikes etc.

If your not aggressively competing I would say its overkill and if you ever go to sell the kdx youll never get your money back for doing it.
If you cant fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

+1 You can find OEM rims on Ebay fairly cheap. You can use a 19" KX wheel (with the KDX spacers), or take the hub off a 19" KX and lace it to an 18" rim if you cant find a whole KDX wheel assembly

What year? Anything newer than mid 90s not without lots of work, the axles are different sizes (KX axles are larger in diameter).
