I mounted up a set of EX500 wheels on my race bike. I did it so I could use a 110 front tire up front and another 120 front tire in the back. EX500 wheels are 3" wide in the front and 3.5" wide in the rear. These are exactly the right widths for a 110 and a 120. Worked great. It took nearly 100 hours of measurements and calculations to figure out what to tell the machinist to do to the wheels and spacers to make it all fit (wheels centered etc.) Cost was about $800 before buying the tires | I mounted up a set of EX500 wheels on my race bike.
