rear wheel swap

Can I put a 3rd gen 8 spoke rear wheel on a 4th gen '97 with out major mods? Thanks for the info.

 

It will fit just fine. You can get all willie nillie with it, just cant put the newer wheels on the older bikes withoot some machine work.

 

What do you mean willy nilly with it, will it require anything or can I just bolt it on. Again much, much appreciate your help.

Lol, willie nillie, as in put it on any of the gen's you wish. It will bolt onto any of them with no mods.

 

Nope, absolutely not, wouldn't do it, not prudent at this time.

Tell you what, I'll send you shipping costs and just send it to me as its worthless unless you have a 3rd gen to put it on.

Just trying to help out. I'm just that nice of a guy, to help out strangers.

Yes, it will fit, dammit. And I could use a spare.

Haha Larry is funny. Good one though
Yrs it will fit fine without any mod.

 

Would have thought "willie nillie" was a Canadian slang term. Must consult with Randy before I just willie nillie throw that oot again. ound:

 

Y'all can't go around using phrases willie nillie without knowing what they mean Toe.

 

Just so that Toe is to be guided down a better literary path:

Willy-nilly:

Meaning
This term has two, slightly differing, but related meanings: 'whether it is with or against your will' and 'in an unplanned, haphazard fashion'. We tend to use the latter of these meanings today; the former was the accepted meaning.when the term was first coined.

Origin
There are many spellings in early citations, which relate to the 'with or against your will' meaning of the phrase - 'wille we, nelle we', 'will he, nill he', 'will I, nill I', etc. The expression also appears later as 'nilly willy' or 'willing, nilling', or even, in a later humourous version 'william nilliam'. The early meaning of the word nill is key to this. In early English nill was the opposite of will a contraction of 'ne will'. That is, will meant to want to do something, nill meant to want to avoid it. So, combining the willy - 'I am willing' and nilly - 'I am unwilling' expresses the idea that it doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

The phrase dates back at least a millennium, with the earliest known version being the Old English text, Aelfric's Lives of Saints, circa 1000:
