I wouldn't think so. The 200e has a wider wheel base than the 200s, as well as different hubs, bigger wheels/tires, etc. But I could be wrong.

yeah - bigreddaddy is 100% correct - for the 200e - you'll need a 200e axle - nothing else will work. Same with 200S - nothing else works.

Well it was worth a shot. I know a 200s axle fits on the 185s. I have one on my bike now. If anyone needs one let me know. I bought this one on impulse before using the one I had. I assumed I would not be able to get it off like my 200x I had. But of coarse it came off very easily after buying this one.

The E/M has a different axle, mind you, you could use the S axle if you had the S carrier and a s model sprocket. But you'd loose some gearing as the s model even at its biggest rear sprocket is still not as deep as the e/m model.

Mc Derry, so you can use a S carrier and axle on a big red 200!!! I need to replace my complete rear end on my red because the last owner loved weld... hahhaa. The left hub is welded on the axle, the brake is long gone ( the lever that go thru the carrier is seized) etc. So if I can find a S complete rear end it will bolt on a 200e big red! That great news.

Yes the gearing is just different.

The s axles sprocket flange is straight, wheres as the big red is dished, to accommodate having a offset on the carrier. It all bolts up the same though in the corresponding carrier axle sprocket.
