So i've done some searching through the forums, and i'm still for a answer.
I'd really like to run a spoked 21'' as my front wheel. I've got the forks, i've got the front axle (17mm right?). Now if i we're to switch out for a wheel that's not the stock, i have fitting issues on the sides. Which isn't too much of a concern because washers can fix that. What i'm mainly trying to figure out, is having a hub fit the XS's 17mm.
I can't just go out, buy a used 21'' wheel and plop it on without having to worry about internal fittings right? (ignoring how it fits on the side).
And I really don't want to relace the hub, because its pricey and/or time consuming.
So what are my options? can I possibly swap out for thicker bearings? would that work or am I thinking of something else.
I've also heard, harley front wheels might work? true or false?
EDIT: forgot to mention I won't be running front brakes.
