First
Remove the "old wheel" (13) ;D
Switch the disc (15) to the "new" wheel (can be from a ST or a 900SSie or a Monster S4)

Then, remove the sprocket carrier (21) and take off the rubber thing (27) and the washer (25) ;D

Insert the washer (machined with inner diameter of 30mm and 1,5mm wide - the outer diameter is 33mm but can be more) inside the part 22. Keep the coin to take a coffee after the assembly  [coffee]

Now, the part 22 (standart comes from inside to outsite) will take place in the sprocket carrier (21)

Pic a nice tire and mount it  ;D
(In my case a Continental ContiSportAttack)

Put the wheel on place and... That's it  [thumbsup]

Me thinks the wheel will be offset to the left of the bike by about 5 mm, have you checked the centre line alignment to the front wheel ?

Looks great, you did a good job [thumbsup]

No we haven't check  :-[
All the measurement we did give us 22,3cm (same as standart).

So, on the left, the wheel is in contact with Caliper hanger - as previous 4.5" was.

I didn't notice any trouble on corners because 5mm is a huge tolerance and it will be feel, I think.

BTY how is the status for your machineny thing?

I have not done the machining, the wheel will be sent in for widening instead.

I have the same 5 spoke as you, but decided to have the 3 spoke widened instead, ( could not find a 5 spoke front ) the company doing it does a lot of racing wheel repairs and straightening so there will be no problem.

So how about that black rim stripe [thumbsup]
