Just wondering how you guys figure out what wheel will work? Say from a 19 inch front to an 18 inch or even 17 for a specific bike? Recently bought a Triumph Explorer ( bike has Cast wheels) with a DMC Expedition and looking to go with a bit smaller front wheel so I can go with wider tires of some type. I use the rig 99% Road, not Offroad. If anyone can tell me what’s an easy wheel swap I would very much appreciate it.Β

You could have woddies wheels lace you up a cast wheel on a Triumph hub.

We have them making us up 3 sets of three wheels right now for Honda Africa Twins we are building that will run the same tires in all three places.

Thanks for the info, guys. I was thinking about going to an 18 instead of 19 upfront and a Cobra Trike tire since I’m all about the blacktop type travel, no dirt (unless, ahem, I misjudge a turn in a curve, or whatnot).
