I don’t think that’s 21.5, looks more like 19” if I recall those are measured center bb to top of seat post binder. That does not look much taller than the 18” Rockhopper I have in the shed.

Track wheels are 100/120 spacing, the rear hub will have a single cog thread with a left thread lock ring. These do not sound right for your application.

You should be fine with 32 or 36 spokes.
