If I understand correctly, the Jireh rim is cheaper/convenient because the 19" donor wheel's spokes can be re-used, because the Jireh rim has a raised ridge around the center of the rim the 19-incher spokes can reach. Most 21" rims (and there seem to be plenty of choices, including from HD) require new, longer spokes.

So essentially any 21 will fit, but you have to buy spokes and relace to your hub correct?

I also think that the reuse of the 19" spokes will work with any 21" drop dead center rim, not 100% sure though, I do believe it is laced different too.
