Default 21" Front Wheel/Tire Help Needed

Hey All,

I have decided to go with a 21" front wheel. My questions are: What modifications if any do i need to do to the front fender for it to fit? Also what size tire do I need? Thanks!

If you have a 3.5" x 21" wheel, you may not need to do anything to your fender other than making the mounting holes oblong and inching the fender higher.

The Metzeler options are: 120/70-21 62h load rating, Part # 0307-0014
140/70-21 VRated Part # 0305-0069

We discuss this allot on this forum it should be a sticky.. just drill the back holes out on your fender to 3/8" and than pull up and tighten. Should be fine. You can also mount the wheel/tire combo tape a 1/4 nut onto the tire and spin it should clear the inside of the fender of not it needs to be a little higher. Rather than that should be fine. Just make sure you get the right hubs and bearings 01 should be 1mm. Avon/meitzler 120/70/21 on a 3.5" wheel.
