RC30/NC30 Wheels

[The Hamster]

Is it possible to put Standard RC30 wheels onto a Standard NC30. I suppose they are going to be slightly wider??
What differences are there at the rear hub? And if this presents a problem, can a RC30 Rear Hub be fitted to an NC30, or going extreme, an RC30 Swingarm Setup be changed onto an NC30 Frame?


Reason I ask is that I can easily get hold of some RC30 Carbon Fibre Wheels, well I say easily,... they are £2300 a set, but i would love to fit these in the future to my NC30 if possible.

All help appreciated.

The std RC30 front is a 3 inch wide rim but will fit on OK.

The rear is a 5.5 I think? not sure it fits straight on..but there are enough RC30 owners about this place that you can get your answer.

Why not buy some Dymags and be done with it?

I dont want boring Magnesium Wheels or other ones like that... I want Carbon Fibre. LOL

I thought carbon fibre was prone to shattering?

I cycle a lot and carbon fibre spokes are not common as they break too easily. I wouldn't like to have a set of wheels made from it.

dave, as mark said the front is 3" as standard and most people upgrade thiers and use a NC30 front wheel.
Rear is different, locating pics, and spacer is flat on the NC, RC is tapered. also standard RC30 rear is 18" and uses a 170 tyre which is of course not available anymore. most use a RC45 rear wheel - well i have anyway
