Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Andreatalo, Feb 18, 2021.

  1. just been offered some wheels but are 848 and 1098 wheels a straight fit?
    I would I know if are off a 848 or a 1098 bike? I need to fit on a 1098
    thanks any help appreciated
     
  2. Front wheels are the same but fairly sure the rear is different, 1098/1198 having a larger axle.
     
    • Agree Agree x 3
  3. @Dukedesmo is correct, the 1098 has a large diameter rear axle whereas the 848 is the same as the 998/996/916/748. Andy

  4. Thanks for quick reply Dukedesmo. How can I check looking at the wheels? is the size stamped on them?
     
  5. It will be the hole in the centre, 1098 is larger but I don't know by how much?
     
  6. Is anything stamped on the actual wheel to tell the difference?
     
  7. Probably not, other than a part no.
     
  8. Thanks for your help guys I'll look up for that.
     
  9. Thinking about it, it maybe that a 1098/1198 wheel is 6" wide rather than 5.5" but but I don't know if that's the case?

    If you look at a 1098 hub on the sprocket side there are 6 bolts/cush drives vs. the 5 on an 848 (916/748/996/998 etc.) and I think the locating pins into the wheel are also further apart.

    A quick look in workshop manuals suggest that 848 rear spindle is a 38mm thread and 1098 is 48mm, so a 10mm difference but I can't vouch for that.
     
  10. the seller sent me a photo of the rear wheel and it is stamped 5.50 would that be a 848 then?
     
  11. Yes, it would. Andy
     
  12. Would think it probably is, see if you can get an internal measurement of the spindle hole to confirm.
     
  13. I'm glad I checked with you guys I would have bought the wrong wheels for my 1098.
    Thanks all :upyeah::upyeah:
     
  14. If you post the picture of the wheel maybe that will help confirm if 848 or 1*98?
     
  15. Definitely 848 not 1098. Andy
