You don't HAVE to use a Heartland wheel to go with their kit. It doesn't even have to be off-set. I bought the rear wheel that is on my Train for a custom frame. I just did a LOT of measuring and used the right spacers. I believe this is what made it possible to stuff a 260mm in a 250 kit......

Thanks for the input... I guess you never know what spacers you'll need till you get the rim in there?

I would appreciate a copy of those instructions, if you don't mind... Have had a project planned for a while but was just stuck on the cost of the kits... This may get me moving...

Only been riding on it for about 6 mo. So far no troubles. I'll try to post up some picks. I took many of the install. The swing arm spacer they sent was 0.20 too large ( unless I spread my frame with a bottle jack ) I had it machined down 0.18 to insure a tight fit. Like I said looks killer, and so far rides good.

Thanks Fatboyscott, thats the info I have been looking for. If thats the only problem you had with the kit I am going to be happy. I know I am going to run into a couple of things. How about your seat, did your stock one fit? Marc
