i'm super pleased with them. very inexpensive add on that changes the whole look in my opinion. i also would love to get some Ride Wright Fat 50's, but my purchases need to be limited for some time now. hah

I'm extremely tempted to do this but don't know if I could handle the patience and frustration on installing them on the rear wheel from what I've read.

I like them a lot, I too would love to get the fat spoke rims but rims for bikes are just so dang expensive! For now I think this is a greatt way to dress them up and change the look! How was the install? I watched the installation video on their website and it looked fairly easy. Just time consuming I would imagine. Did you cut them all at the same time for length, or individually as you went along? Thanks for posting the pic's!

i removed the rear wheel and got all the wraps on it in about 45 minutes. i used a tire spoon (long one) to apply a little pressure on appropriate spokes to slide them on easier. i was tempted to put a little wd40, but didn't need to.

definitely worth the effort and minimal cost. fat50's can wait... for now

I got the front rim done last night (love it) and half way done with the rear. I did not want to mnkey with the rear at all but started it and did not finish yet. Still only about 4 degrees here in the morning so no hurry LOL.

Fitted mine today, they look great!

I had front wheel out anyway to paint fork lowers and tried to do rear in situ but soon decided to rip it out and strip the disc and sprocket off.

Much easier that way. Just take your time.
