Rear Wheel Conversion - 17" to 16"
« on: October 19, 2015, 01:06:57 AM »
What is the simplest way to swap to a 16" rear on the A's? (sick of the lack of tire options)

The options I can think of are to either lace the A hub to a 16" wheel, or adapt a 16" K rear wheel to the A.  What does it take to use a K rear wheel on an A?  Has anyone done it before?

Figured I'd see if you guys had any useful input before spending the time trying to figure this one out... whenever I find the time for that.

Cheers!

So I ordered a 16" Harley rim and a Buchanan spoke kit from Cycle One.  It just arrived today and looks great.  I'll be lacing it to my stock hub.  Cheer for the help!
