Hello All,

I am fairly new at posting on here, but been reading for quite a while. (Thanks everyone for sharing your builds and thoughts!)

I have been searching for a solution on this for quite a while but have found nothing.

I am changing the fork on my 696 to 848 fork and have read the build threads extensively.

My question is whether or not I will be able to fit 848 wheels once I have the 848 forks installed.
I do not want to go the route of using sleeves and spacers to fit my front wheel on the 848 fork.

I am ordering some fun new sparkly wheels from carrozzeria and want to make sure that I order the correct wheels for my bike.

I guess to sum up my question, I am wondering if I can use the 848 wheels with my triple tree, or if I need to get a custom triple made to spread out the forks a bit.

Can anyone school me on this matter?

Thanks!
