You would buy a rear hub and the correct spokes to match your rim. Then throw away thd rest of a front wheel.

its unlikely you'll manage with so few spokes.

Extremely unlikely to be cost effective on a factory wheel.

As above, the chances of finding an 18 hole hub is v slim and may not be strong enough (unless you were v light)

I suppose you could get a 36 hole hub and just use every other hole haha*

*not sure if this is a good idea!!

Hadnt even thought about spoke holes. Dammit. Could of got two fronts cheap, hence the question.

Never mind
