Zongshen RX3: 21-inch Front Wheel
Several days ago I laced a Warp9, size 1.60-21 rim to the front hub of my Zongshen RX3, and mounted a size 2.75-21, Cheng Shin, C858 tire to the front wheel.
![]() Prior to lacing the 21-inch rim, I had raised the front fender, and road tested the configuration to ensure I had adequate clearance between the front fender and the rest of the bike. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I raised the front of the fender a distance of 1-9/16" by mounting the metal frame of the fender to the top point of the front mounting bracket. I added a short section of aluminum bar stock to raise the rear of the fender the same distance. I also trimmed the inside edges of the fender near the forks to allow the forks to descend without rubbing the fender. I discovered I also need to trim a little from the rear of the fender, because it contacts the exhaust header when the forks are fully compressed. ![]() ![]()
