I would go with the Delkevic. They are usually cheaper than the NC35 wheels on fleabay and they are new.

To increase the rear ride height, the cheapest way is to get the NC35 dogbone linkage.

Cheapest way to jack up the rear is to redrill your nc30 dogbone. There are plenty of threads on this and 17" wheels, so a search will reveal all the info you need :smile:

If it's a road bike save your money and stick with the 18" rear. There are some great road tyres available.

..and they look better!! :peace:

Yep, fits straight in. You can probably find them on ebay.

If you fit a 17" wheel and then fit the rvf dogbone the rear will sit at standard height.

True story. I guess you would have to re-drill the holes then. Or you can find a ride height adjustable shock.
