It is possible to conver a X to an R, I even had a look at a new X that had had the conversion done at the Laeks meeting last weekend. Rooster I think is his user name. To sum up the rear wheel is a straight fit, Rooster changed the whole front end to an R giving him more compliant off road suspension as the X is too hard off road. I should know I did an off road training course on my X Friday and I was keeping up will all but the fastest of riders.

I say dont bother and get the right bike to start with. Less insurance hassles etc.
