I was also interested to see if the new yellowish orange rims are adaptable to the old tube frame type bikes ! I know it can be done ! But is that with alot of work or bolt on capable? | ||

Ahh....good question, I have been watching for something like this.... as I would love that wider rear rim, and the perimeter front rotor.... C'mon ya'll....I know someone has to have put som serious thought into this... Chase | ||

I checked into it a while back, easiest way is probably to replace the entire front end shocks with triple clamps and everything. I think the back end will just bolt on but that's not gospel. I think the new rims would look great on a tuber but I can't justify the expense on my bike. Check the knowledge vault, wheels and tires, there is an old thread in there. -Mike | ||

As Littlebuggles said: easiest way is probably to replace the entire front end shocks with triple clamps and everything. I think the back end will just bolt on but that's not gospel.   Not my bike but it's owned by a friend of mine (at least for the time-being), 1313 | ||

I think that is the ultimate m2, absolutely gorgeous! Is it up for sale in the classifieds? I browse but don't recall seeing it here. Just curious 'bout the price... | ||

looks good! Brankin is that a local CCC bike? e-bay had 2 xb front ends available gave it some thought I like my PM ( polish me ) wheels to good | ||

Woah, Cool Idea! I think an XB front end, wheels, caliper/rotor and swing arm would rock! Can it be done? Anyone have experience and do some measurements? | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
I thought the axle diameters were different. | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Den, Skip the swingarm. If the rear axle is too big you can probably open the spacer up without too much trouble. Too small, maybe just shim it? It's been done obviously. | ||

OH MAN I CAN SEE THE $$ flowin now.. GET SOME XB wheels and powdercoat them white... OH MAN MY WIFE IS GONNA KICK MY BUTT FOR SURE!! Maybe coat the break caliper too.. OH DANG THE IDEAS!! | ||
| Chasespeed |
You know what? Those are S1/X1 forks on the front of that. Unless they look identicle to XB forks, in all but the axle measurement.... Chase | ||
| Firemanjim |
Chase,don't think the S-1 forks have the correct mounting tabs for the XB front brake--- | ||
| Chasespeed |
Jim, I hear ya on that...I will have to put my X1 next to my buddies XB when I get back to VA, take some measurements, pictures, etc.... I guess I will have to wait until then Chase | ||

"...Not my bike but it's owned by a friend of mine (at least for the time-being), 1313..." Who'd be foolish enough to sell a bike like this?  |
