Default Fat Daddy front wheel
My dealer said that they have had some bad experiences with the Fat Daddy 40 spoke wheels. I really like the look, but I sure don't need any breakage.
Has anybody else experienced any problems with this particular wheel??
Thanks.


This is what it looks like. It's the front wheel on this very nice looking Night Train.

That does look pretty sharp. Did the dealer sell the Fat Daddys or was he wanting to point you to something else on his floor? Seems like dealers always have something bad to say about stuff they don't personally sell....

Your dealer is not correct. Get the Big Fatty I getting them on my SG.
