Default ABS Wheel vs Non ABS Wheel

Ive got 2012 SG without ABS, can I put an ABS wheel on it without any problems?

It's not the wheel that's different it's the bearings. Another way of putting it is YES.

Yes, you'll have to change out the left side bearing.

I just swapped out bearings. I had to change left front and right rear to put non abs wheels on a abs bike. The bearings you change out are on the side with the sensors for the abs.

ABS bearing on rear is the right side bearing. I've never looked closely at these bearings from a comparative standpoint. Are they physically different sizes?

Bearings are cheap and easy, but I just didn't know if it would bolt on with the ABS sensor instead of the spacer.
Thanks Guys
