CX gti wheels on a BX!...possible yay nay?

Post by Russ »

Hello everyone,

Purists look away now!

Would it be possible to fit a set of CX gti wheels on a BX?

Is it as simple as a disc swap as their 5 luggers?

Plus what about callipers, are the bx and CX the same or would it involve a complete hub swap if indeed it's at all possible. I'm not sure about the CX layout as I've never owned one.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I may just buy a set of CX discs and see if I can get them to fit!

Cheers all

I would say more complicated than the discs as the wheels do not screw into the discs but the hub.

Others will have to advise you on the feasability of hub & caliper transplants.

Ok great I was not aware of that cheers way2go, hubs and callipers will probably be a pain in the ass!

Cheers

Glory BX as to 'what's the point' I like the ones that the 4TC sit on so why not? Different taste perhaps?
