Can you put SR 125 tires onto Aero R-skis that came with 150 tires?

Default Can you put SR 125 tires onto Aero R-skis that came with 150 tires?

Hi All-
I haven't been reading this newsgroup as closely as I
usually do this summer (it's too darn hot to think of
skiing!) but, as the days shorten, my attention span
lengthens (for this topic, anyway).

So, I apologize in advance if this topic has already
been beaten to death, but I have a question:
I have a pair of Jenex Aero Rollerskis that came with
the bigger (150?) tires. Comparing them to a friend's
SR125 skis, it appears that the frames are exactly the
same, and that the holes in the wheel forks are set up
to accomodate both wheel sizes.

So-- my question: can I order 4 smaller wheels
(making sure to get the O-rings!) and be on my merry
way? Better yet, is there any possibility that Jenex
would trade them out? Or that someone on this list
would be interested in buying the bigger wheels from
me? -- they have very light wear--less than 40-50K
mileage.

thanks-- now I'm heading out to do some double poling
(on my Pro-ski classic skis)

If your frame has two sets of holes, as do the 125 frames, then you are all
set to use the smaller 125sr wheel. The speed reducers is different for that
wheel I believe. (I've tried to modify a 150 speed reducer to a 125 but
really couldn't due to pivot point difference. Some of these specs may have
changed.

Save your 150 wheels. cause they may come in handy when you are on rough
stuff.

BTW, there is practically no way to retrofit 125 sr wheels on the 150 frames
that are not drilled for 125. The precision necessary to get the holes right
is too great for anything but a milling machine. A drill press won't do I'm
told.

Gary's correct that a milling machine is necessary if holes have to be
drilled. If that's what you need, call Jenex and Len will send you a
couple of templates and any necessary hardware. I looked around in the
distant TC suburbs to find someone who would mill it without charging me a
lot. It came out well and cost $30. I think he was very slightly off on
one hole, but not enough to cause any problems.
