14 inch to 12 inch

[sooie84]

Hey guys I;ve just got the 138cc DHZ pitty,

Just wondering, if the fronts a 14inch rim is it possible to change it to a 12 inch rim

so its 12 and 12 back

the reason i ask is cos i have a set of 12 inch motard rims/tyres

what would the pro's and cons

is it as simple as taking the 14 off and putting the 12 on?

thanks guys

If the 12 inch rims have 15mm bearings/axles then they will bolt straight in but more often than not theyre 12mm

Those DHZ bikes are already sitting low in the front because that setup is really designed to run the taller fully adjustable fast ace forks with a 14" wheel. See how the bash plate gives this away. If you fit a 12" wheel it will sit even lower. You would need to fit a shorter rear shock to adjust the ride height IMO.
