H,
the diam is of interest to see whether I will need to swap wheels or can use 600 wheel, I have a set of USD available but it will be at what final cost !!!!
I do not want to buy them & have to find a wheel , rotors,spacers etc
Thanks for the help

Hi George. The axel on my '91 EXUP is 14.6 mm. It is measured on the right side of the weel where the nut is. I've checked my Hayens manuel but it said nothing useful about this. I don't mind take the axel out and measure it but I hav'ent got time to do that until later today.
