This is a 26" rear wheel that can be used in conjunction with a 26" front wheel to upgrade your Rift Zone Jr 24" (or Hawk Hill Jr 24") to a 26" bike. This is a direct swap, but it is important to note the rear end spacing when considering this rear wheel
- Any Rift Zone Jr model year 2023-2024 use a 12x148mm rear end
- Any Rift Zone Jr or Hawk Hill Jr model year 2018-2022 use a 12x142mm rear end
What you will need in addition to this rear wheel is:
- 26" Tires Front and Rear
- 26" Front Wheel
- Rear Thru Axle
- 2023-2024 Rift Zone Jr's will need the Tapered Head Thru Axle to fit in the M12x1.0 thread pitch of the SRAM UDH hanger
- 2018-2022 Rift Zone Jr's will need the 142x12mm Bolt On Thru Axle to fit the M12x1.5 thread pitch of the frame
- 2023-2024 Rift Zone Jr's will need a SRAM UDH hanger (sold separately) to replace the stock derailleur hanger
- 2018-2022 Rift Zone Jr's and Hawk Hill Jr's can use the same Hanger #40 that is spec'd on the bike
The current brake rotors, cassette, and front axle are all compatible with the new 26" wheels
