Re: Conversion

17 inch street tires wrapped around excel wheels with either excel hubs or talon hubs, connected with thick stainless steel spokes.

Big ass break rotor, 320mm and a 4 pot caliper. Full size streetbike front master cylinder too.

You can buy kits or fab a 600/liter class front caliper onto your hub/ring

HANDGUARDS for your hands/levers! Super important.

Most people use Excel Rims with excel or talon hubs:

You'll still need tubes unless you buy a tubeless kit which uses wrapping tape and special valve stem for sealing.

Front is 3.5 and the rear is 4.25. Running a 120/60 on the front and a 160/60 on the rear. Rear tire rubs the 520 chain just slightly
