Hi all, i would like to change the front wheel on my 2005 XTX from a 17" to a 19" so i can have a better choice of dirt tyres. I had a great trip in Italy on my XTX but very quickly found the limit of the Distanzias and the 17" front rim off road. That said my bike is a great example and reliable so no im thinking i don't really want to change it if i can avoid it. I know the suspension is to hard for proper off road but all im interested in in is help with info to change the rim size but keep the existing hub and brakes.
Cheers

You could send your front wheel to Hagon and they'll put a 19" front rim straight on with the correct rim width for dual purpose tyres.

Cheers for the info. I have emailed them.

I can highly recommend them as I had them lace me on a new rear rim this year,quality rim and good value.They save a lot of hassle by changing your rim and allowing you to keep original hubs and brakes.
