    Hey guys, first post here tho i'v been lookin about for a while.



    For the back iv got one of the older drum wheels from the older FX runner.



    My question is whether or not i can fit a runner wheel on the front?



    Any help would be very apreciated

    no, you need skipper or nrg forks to fit a runner wheel to a typh, unless you find a 3 stud disk runner wheel or have an adaptor made for the caliper as the disk is bigger.

    Same size as typh rims?



    I dont like the typhoon wheels, gettin a 172 typh this week and i was hoping to change those wheels but trying to find a rim that fits both front and back is turning out much harder than i thought.



    If anyone has suggestions they would be very apreciated

    Engine is new shape.



    So if i get some nrg forks (guessing old shape nrg), they'll be a straight swap with the typhoon forks?



    Does it have the wheel of a specific gilly for the front?

    Thats some banging news right there. Now all I need is some forks and a front wheel and im sorted.



    Should be gettin the bike tomoro or the next day, has a new 172 kit. A couple days of easy riding should wear it in decently right?
