Anybody fitted MT-03 forks and wheels to a XTX? (or want to?)
 
I ask as I've got an MT-03 that I want to fit spoked wheels and a single disc front end to.
Anybody tried or thought about this?

Odds are I think you'd be wasting time doing the swop that way- the forks are longer on the xtx and honestly, I'd stick with cast wheels for a road bike-they tend to be lighter, and since having spoked wheels and tubes i've had so many punctures it's not funny-either through shards and debris or pinched inner tube.

Also the weight distribution and possibly the rake of the headstock I believe are different.

:) Welcome btw :chevil

Thanks for the input guys, it's just a vague idea at the moment.
Anybody able to measure the forks on a XTX from fork top to center of wheel spindle? If there is not a huge difference it may just be a case of dropping them through the yokes and playing with springs to fix the geometry.
