Default 21 inch Wheels

Has anyone on here put a 21 on there touring bike in the last 2 years? Where did you go to get your wheel and how was your experience with that company? (Customer service, shipping, price, etc)

Well I decided to go with a 21 Inch wheel from WanaRyd. The craftsmanship is amazing! A great experience all the way around. I also purchased fender from www.thefactorymatch.com . The color match is spot on.

Looks good 👍🏾, did you notice any difference on the bikes handling or any cons? Did it raise the front end a bit? Did you buy rotors with the wheel or did you use your stock rotors? Really debating on getting a 21” frt wheel

To be honest I put the Legend AXEO21 shocks in at the same time since I was going up to a 21. The front is exactly the same. I kept the stock rotors. I didn’t feel the extra $400 was worth it. I love the look of it and I get a lot of compliments. As for the stirring it’s a little different when it comes to U-turns.

I have been running a 21" front wheel combo for the past few years - rim from Colorado Custom wheels - tires have been Commander II's & III's - no issues

Default New 21" front wheel need spacer help

I just bought a 21"× 3.5" 48 king spoke front wheel off of ebay. It's not bad it looks sharp. But I need to know if my factory spacers will work on it. If not where can I get the right ones. I do not know the proper edicate on this forum I'm just trying to get some help. Can I put my email here for some advice? bigbobby196969@gmai.com thank you

When it comes to spacers I didn't need them because I bought a 21 inch fender. The spacers your talking about is if you want to use the factory fender. I got them with this wheel but never used them. It raises the fender to accommodate the bigger diameter.
