I have the stock spoked 21 front if that's what your looking for.

Thanks for the offer cdt. I was actually looking for a cheap used fsxt rim to make sure it would work before I dropped big money on a 80 or fat spoke rim

so finally got a chance to look at my front end. the rim is 1/4 inch to one side. the rim itself is centered its just the spacer on the one side is bigger then the other. looks simple enough to try a fxst rim even if i have to shim it one way or the other. i will post my progress once i get the new rim in case anyone else might want to try it

You DO realize that the offset on a laced wheel can be adjusted/changed by loosening the spokes on one side and tightening the spokes on the other side. Setting the offset is one part of building/truing a laced wheel.
