Hello all,
I am trying to find a way to put a gsx600 rear wheel into a hardtail frame. I can get the wheel into the frame, but as most sport bikes have a swingarm that is offset to center the wheel in the frame, I don't have that option. Making the sprocket line up is something I can get done one way or another by either getting an offset front sprocket or maching down the sprocket carrier (I am a machinist). The rear wheel just fits in there with the stock spacers from the gsx. Once in there, my wheel sits off to the caliper side an inch or more. Is it possible to switch out a hub from another bike, or do they make a hub for this application? I'm open to any suggestions that someone has. I haven't been able to find anything on this. I see pictures where other people are using sport bike alloy rims so there has to be something.
