I don't have an answer to you specific question about fitting the CRF wheel, but I've also had a question about the rear wheel of the DB36.

I got my 2020 last May, and within 5 hours of riding it, I had a flat back tire. I figured I either hit a bump too hard or something sharp punctured it. I've still not fixed it because I only ride on my own property, and if I fill it with air it takes about a day for it to be flat again.

However, in the past four months, I have seen three different 2020 DB36's up for sale on FB Marketplace, and every one of them was described as needing a rear tube!

I'm going to get mine apart someday and find out what made it go flat, but in the meantime, I gotta wonder if there is some problem (e.g., spoke protrusion) with the DB36 real wheel.

I remember that barnone got a flat on his DF250RTG due to spoke breakage, and he said he was told that there was a problem with a batch of rear wheels for that bike. Maybe there's something similar with the DB36. Thus my interest in your question about the fitment of other wheels.

You may not be interested in giving another Apollo wheel a shot, but if you do, they're not too expensive: https://www.orionpowersports.com/18-...0cc-dirt-bike/

Anyway, sorry to hear you're having all those problems, and hope you get an answer to your question and can gitr' back on the trail soon!
