(3) move brake line to the outside of the fork (not shown in photo)
So just to get this correct you replaced the X's disc on the X's wheel with the R's so no need for different calpier or anything like that.
Removed the we crappy black plastic mud guard as it rubs on the small X sized tyre
Moved the brake line from the inside of the wheel to going around the out side so as not to rub it to death.

Was there any problems with spacings/spacers or anything?? Also how much in total did it cost you to complete (wheel + extras)?

And i take it your looking into then changing the rear wheel as she must feel a we bit front heavy now it will be leaning forward due to the different front wheel sizes?
