It can be done yes. Using the x hubs stops any spacing trouble. Central wheels offer the service to respoke and change rims. I checked last week and it's not cheap at all.

In short yes it's possible.

Don't be too sure that's correct. Factor in suspension mods to soften the x, lower it, better tyres, a disc thats too effective for off road use so needs swapping, insurance issues and before you know it you may as well swap for an r.

I considered it last week with help on this forum and I decided to keep my x for a while longer before I commit to something else and it would be yamaha but maybe a wr, ttr, etc etc.

It really depends on the sort off off road riding you want to do. From your recent thread on the snowy ride I guess the R would be ideal.
