I'm betting they removed the Zongshen badge to install their KTN badge.

Are you going to switch to a 21-inch front wheel? If not, which of the 18-inch front tires do you like?

I know I'd like to switch to a 21" front wheel. Is it better to buy a new 21" wheel or re-lace the 18" stock wheel to 21"?

I'm going to try my hand at relacing a 21". I had Woody's build one for my Tenere but $600 bucks is a little too much. Will more than likely follow your lead. Would be great to have another hub or wheel to work with. I'll more than likely run a T63 up front and a E07 on the rear.

There is a very slight chance the hub from my Zongshen ZS200GY-2, or a standard Chinese hub will fit the RX3 forks. I own two such wheels, and I will test them after the RX3 bikes arrive. However, I'm betting I will need to order longer custom spokes, and lace a new rim to the stock hub. I have done this several times before, so I am familiar with the process.

If I need to order custom spokes from Buchanan's, I will have them record the specifications with the name Zongshen RX3. Then anyone who wants to build his own wheel can order the custom spokes without needing to repeat the measuring process, et cetera. I really like the 18-inch, T63 tire for the front wheel. It looks as if it will clear the mud pretty well, yet still handle well on the pavement. However, the problem with mounting these rear tires is the weight. When you put a rear tire on the front wheel, the steering is sluggish, and the unsprung weight of the wheel is very large. A 21-inch front wheel is lighter, quicker to respond, and will definitely surmount off road obstacles much easier than a heavier, 18-inch wheel. In addition, you have a much larger selection of 21-inch tires from which to choose.

If I can find the front hub for sale at Taobao, we could order extra hubs from China. Then we could lace domestic, alloy rims with Buchanan's custom spokes to the Taobao hubs. This would allow us to keep the stock, 18-inch front wheel as a spare, instead of dismantling the wheel to use the stock hub to build another custom wheel.
