86 rear wheel compatability?

Post by MX500 »

My rear wheel has 36 spokes. I've been looking online for a replacement rim because mine has cracks where about half of the spokes go into it, but they are all listed for the 89+ KDX's.

Is my rear rim compatable with the newer rear rims, or is in not because I have a rear drum brake and might possibly have a different spoke pattern?

Has anyone swapped in a newer rear wheel for the disc brake? I can weld on any required caliper mounting brackets, but don't know if the conversion would be worth the cost.
