Hi all. Fairly new to all of this. I have read tons on here about options for a 19" rear wheel (conversion kits for front hubs, hubs from other bikes, etc.). I've got a '79 Special II which has a spoked 16" on the rear, drum brake. I'm buying a stock swing arm from a rear disc brake XS. I'm doing a tracker(ish) project and I want 19" spoked front and rear with disc brakes.
I'm open to the suggestions you have. Be as specific as you can with what is required (spacers, adapters, etc.)
Thanks in advance for all of your input. Your experience and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated.
Did I read somewhere that a sportster front hub is a good place to start?
A very good source told me that a rear wheel from an old KZ750b twin, is great because it was spoked and set up for disc, and the spacing was good. These wheels are proving to be kinda hard to locate.
Help a noob!
Thanks
