Very True! 
Unfortunatly I dont have the tools neccesary (or probably the skills for that matter!)to make up spacers, brackets for calipers or any of the other fabrication work that would probably be required which was why I was looking for an easy option to getting smaller wheels with proper road tyres (intending on using the bike for commuting once its finished) instead of the big nobblies that are currently on it!
This may be a really stupid idea but would it be possible to take an 18" rear rim from an XT600 and lace it to a front hub to give an 18" front wheel? Not sure about width etc?
