I now see why people are going down the route of a WP front end with KTM wheel
the first time i had the wheels off i nearly had a heart attack! i instantly thought i will change them to excel rims and talon hubs....until i saw the price! (excel rims aren't too bad, but you best be wealthy for the Talon hubs)

SURELY...there has to be a cheaper option?? putting a KTM front wheel in is fine...if you go through with WP forks & different brakes. There has to be other, lighter wheels and hubs that fit the Ten?
