21" Wheel lacing

Yes I have already try to search. I am wanting to lace a 21 in wheel onto my bike. I have a rim off a wideglide wheel, can I lace it onto my hub using my stock spokes like people do with the Jireh Rims, or am I going to have get a new set?

New set, the center drop out is not as tall as the Jireh rim. I found that it was better priced to order the Jireh rim than it was to purchase new spokes.

Then you'll need new spokes. The dropout is about the same between the two rims, which will put you at about 1" more radius, which means longer spokes.

If I remember right for the wide glide rims you need the 21" spokes to lace 1 over 3. For the jireh we use the 19" spokes 1 over 3. Here are a couple links!!

For the jireh rim

Not sure if these will help, but this is the guy that helped a lot of people with the skinnier front 21"
