Default Front Wheel

Replacing the 21"front wheel on my '05 1200C with either an 80 or 100 spoke 21" American Wire Wheel. I'm having some trouble finding this info in my service guidebut does my bike have a 3/4" bearing or a 1" bearing? The wheels I am looking at are 3/4". How much time and expense is it to replace bearings if needed? Thanks....

Chris: Your frontwheel has a 3/4 inch dia. axle and bearings. While your rear wheel has a 1 inch dia. axle and bearing. ............... BC

I was considering this as my next 'upgrade'. It'sa 3/4" bearing, but I was curious if it's tubeless or not and have you checked the pricing???Also can't decide between the 80 or 100, yet... I think they look marvelous!

Thanks fellas.

I got a new 21" 80 Spoke on the way along with mesh lacedmirror polished rotors for the frt and rr. Still unsure if I am going to drop the cash for chrome calipers. With the right touch of chrome bolts and steel braided cables, I think I can make the calipers look good.
