I started this week off going to pick up a Giant XC1 27.5 wheelset. They came with a nice set of maxxis high rollers. Will not be able to use them but they can be sold. Nothing noteworthy happened during the transaction. It was typical we me on time he showed the wheels I paid him and we parted ways. It was when got them home. The realization struck me that the wheels wouldn’t be easy to convert.
The rear wheel has the wrong spacing and looks like it doesnt use sealed bearing. That prevents me from just getting endcaps.The front wheel the spacing is wrong and the axle is too long I will have to get a custom one made.
It might be simple it might not. We find out in the next update.
