Hey guys - new here.

So, I got these wheels at a really great price - the problem is that they are too big for my bike.
I think that they are 29er wheels
I have an 'All-Hillsides' Rock-hopper

So, the back wheel rubs a ton, and I can't get the front wheel in my forks
I can see now, that the spokes are far too long.

How much should I cut off?
I was gonna go with an 1-1/2" - I think that should get it to fit, but I'm curious as to what others have done before
