Looking for a 21" front and an 18" rear for my XCo. Seems a pair of X Challenge wheels would be the ideal option - anyone have a pair they might sell? Or know where I might find a pair? Many thanks for any leads.

They'll be rare. The front will require mud guard mods, the rear should go straight on.
Why do you want to change?

I've started doing Long Distance Trials and find the front 19" 'wanders' a bit off road. Bumped into another owner on a 2009 bike with 21" front which he said was a big improvement off road. I would also buy a pair of standard wheels and then get them re;laced with a 21" and 18" rim, which would give me the originals for road use and a pair of 21" and 18" for the LDTs. I might move from the Michelin Anakee Wild front which only comes in 110/80 x 19 and go to a TKC80 which is available in 100/90 and might track better. The Anakee Wild I find superb on rocks and slippery stone, but not great in wet mud - which we have had a lot of recently - and front doesn't track well on ruts and grass, which I think is down to the wider and lower profile.
