The rearhub thing xt 600 1vj

Hello!

So I post this here because I do not have a clue

I described my problem on my movementpractice blog:

the broken rearhub conundrum

if you feel like it have a look and give me a guess...


Gracias!

Its worn out, common problem as the shoe eats away at the alloy drum making it thin & then it fails.

As you will know the part is no longer available (obsolete) so you have three choices.

1. Is to find another used one, XT550J, XT600Z 34L, XT600 43F any of the rear brake shoe ones will fit, but they could all be worn out as well (easiest option)

2. Change your whole rear end to disk brake (better in the long run) but costly.

3. Have it welded up & machined out (expensive solution)

thanks for the reply with all the details.....dude...
this is the second hub it happens to....did not look too bad but i could see the shoe diametre a bit small.
well..
I guess in my case I have to rethink a solution...
Would transforming into discbrake mean new swingarm?

I am in the process of converting an 86 XT600 to SM and have converted it to rear disc,it is a lot of work but worth it, I have the part you require but am reluctant to sell unless complete with wheel etc,don't have enough posts to contact you so what do i do.
if interested contact me if you can,it is in good condition as is the rear wheel and new tyre,bike has done a genuine 25k miles from new mainly road miles and some light trails,nothing more.

So good luck with your transformation, and wow only 25 k...mine had 80000k when I bought it.....

where are you?
