Hi, Chris, I think I did not pay proper atention about something(s) you wrote in that questions/answers in the forum... if using the standard Strida 16" spoked wheels with Big Apples, can I just take my 18"s away and keep the "old" SX Flywheel and brake disks, or I will have to change it all? as you say that your Strida with orange 16" (with a wider rim?) Vans tires would not be good for everiday use, will I be able to use, dailly, 16" Strida wheels with Big Apples? aparently, if with the 16" wheels with Vans you had to dish the rims, that will not be necessary with Strida 16" with Big Apples... I found that in strida.nl they do not have 16" black rear wheels, is it just a temporary "out of stock" issue?
Thank you very much!

Truly possible, but my odd English can be misleading, too :?

You can keep freewheel and brake discs - but you need a 4-notch standard BMX tool for the freewheel and a Torx T25 bit (key, screwdriver) to mount/unmount.

The Vans are overkill and actually too wide ("dish" required) and these rims are not any longer available.

Sure. Just to repeat - small modifications are required regarding the magnet catch function.

Exactly, no special "dish" necessary.

No idea, you should ask them!
All I can tell is that in Germany are zero 16" wheels in stock, only some parts to make them.
