Is the Dt360 21" front rim the same as the 76 DT400 21" rim? was created by Akkev

Does anyone know if the 21" rims on the DT360 are the same as the DT400 rims? The hubs are different on the bikes so the spokes would be different.
I am buying new chrome rims on ebay and they are listed for the DT250  and DT360 but dont mention the 1975-1976 DT400.  I assume the 360   has 36 spokes.

According to the parts list, the 75-76 DT250/400 rim is a different part number.

Number of spokes should be the same as the 74 DT360/DT250 but the angle of the spoke holes might be different due to the offset hub.

Not the same. The 360A hub is full width while the '76 250/400 has a conical hub. The difference lies in the change in spoke angles for one side of the rim vs. the other. Looking at the parts listing for each you will see a different part number, so if you are looking for new, you might want to be sure of the actual number before purchase. The size/width is the same, it is the drilling of the holes for the nipples that is different.

If it might be of interest I have very nice chrome take-off front rim from a '75/'76 DT400 that could be had for short money. (not correct for the 360A though).
