guys I just bought a 2006 RMZ 450 the previous owner rode it with loose spokes on the rear wheel and cupped the holes were the spokes

reside. Is there a fix for this other than replacing he rim. Would new spokes work? The rim is straight.

If I were to replace the rim and spokes what do you guys recommend if I were to lace up a new wheel with the existing hub?


Pro wheel?

Warp 9?

G force?


Thanks for the advice

Depending on how bad they are cupped, I would replace it. You don't want the spokes pulling through the rim when you land from a jump. The spokes are stronger material and would not wear as bad as the rim, so replacing the spokes would not help. If you only trail ride it may not be as critical. Unless you're really fast! As for rims, I have used Pro Wheel and Warp 9 wth no problems. But some guys don't think Warp 9 are any good. ????
