RE: Spokes or Mags?

I guess it depends on the bike they are on. My heritage looks great with spokes, haven't seen many with out. But others look awesome with mags. To each there own I guess.

stock mags my EG came with. no tubes and easy to clean, when I do it?? Spokes are cool looking, look good on a show bike, but they are, how shall I say a throwback to the old days..Mags are a step up. But i defend your right to have spokes after all your the ones that have to deal with tubes and cleaning them.

RE: Spokes or Mags?

Yeah. Spokes look good and I agree that mags are way easy to clean. If your running PM brakes like me the PM brake pads are soft compound so brake dust is abundant after one days ride.

This is a tuff one because it REALLY depends on the bike.

RE: Spokes or Mags?

I like them both, you can run spokes without an intertube, I don't remember the company, but they can wrap the rims and then they are set up for tubeless tires.
