[QUOTE="pdee4t, post: 184026, member: 1594"] Hiya. I was thinking just before. If it would be worth me getting 17" wheels with a cush drive already on them? I heading towards getting an 18" laced up with a cush hub, but for a little extra, I'm wondering if its just worth getting the 17's instead. It works out to almost the same price as getting a hub costs to lace up, etc. Question is though, can you get tyres that are 50/50 dirt/road or 30/70 for them, front and rear? the rear rim width would be 5" and front 3.5" and how would the 17's go on the dirt, even with knobby tyres if they are available? I will still be using the bike for dirt bike riding also. I don't do too aggressive dirt riding, but I also don't do anything too basic. Somewhere in the middle. And lastly, will I also have to change to a supermoto sprocket and brake rotors to fit the wheels? Or can I just use my current disc rotors and sprocket? and how does fitment go with the front caliper?...any fiddling around needed? because it's nearly touching the spokes from my 2.15x21" wheel!
