I wanted to change my YZ250 2 stroke to over to an 18" rim for GNCC series racing. I looked at Tusk and Warp, but decided I liked the reliability of the stock set up. So, Excel it is. I bought an excel spoke XS8-43187 set and laced it up. Everything went together smoothly and the rim is true within a few thousandths of an inch. I've not done any real riding on it yet, but expect Excel performance similar to the stock set up.
