18 slim front wheel

so I'm starting to look into possibly doing a 21in front wheel and wondering what parts I would need to do the swap? I'm not looking to lower the bike less then the stock height look.
thanks

Are you wanting to go to an alloy rim or keep a spoked rim? You could do it by simply lacing a 21" rim to your existing hub, then you would only need a tyre, rim, spokes and a fender.

If I wanted to do that then I wouldn't have asked the question. Good day.

Most any vendor that sells 21" wheels has a package with everything ready to bolt on to the bike.

I dont know about on the Slim, but on the Deluxe a 21x3.5 front wheel fits with no modifications to the fender or bike...
