How much of a differance will my ride change on my SB with a 21" wheel
up front?

 

depends on the tire height and especially width.
What size tire you plan to run?

 

not sure. any suggestions?
love the look of the larger rim but still want a smooth ride.
any help would be greatly appreciated

 

I went with the 21" x 3.25" from jireh cycles and run a 120/70/21 and it handles a lot better then stock and feels smoother. It doesn't grab tar snakes or grooves. I love my 21!! Here's how you can do it using your own hub and stock spokes. Save you some cash and get the looks.

sweet! thanks for the info

 

I had the stock hub relaced w 21" laces, hoop. Ride did not significantly change but looks alot better. Looks like the bike should come w a 21"

 

What Jaron said, 120/70/21.
Thats the way to go.

 

I relaced to the slimmer 21" wheel and i handles fine even with the rear lowered...

 

Bike rides nice with the 120/70. The bike may take a bit more pressure on the bars to turn in but it felt more stable after the upgrade.

 

did the 21, relaced the wheel , after 2 years went back to the 19, i like the sturdier feel , and yes the do feel different.. the 21 feels lighter, we hit the twisties hard here..
