Hello!

I am searching for a suitable wheel to replace my busted/bent front wheel.  I know the stock wheel was a Marchesini 3 spoke light alloy 3.50 X 17 wheel.    I was told that wheels from previous Monster models may fit as well.  With that in mind, are there any other specs I need?

Thanks in advance for your help!

yea, it's a 25mm axle.  You may want to try looking for a 695 wheel, they also use a 25mm axle.  I've compared the parts manuals on the two, they look the same, but have yet to b able to compare the actual wheels.
