Yep I wish I had the mag wheels. Spoke are hard to keep clean and you have the tubes to replace also.
agreed, I found the spokes hard to keep clean. The chrome hoops were easy, but whatever coating the MoCo uses for the spokes is crap. My bike is now 7 years old, 11K miles, definitely a garage queen, and the spokes were corroded and looked horrible.
A few calls to Hogpro Wheels in SoCal fixed my nasty spoke problem. And no more tubes!
Get the 150x16 E4s if you want dunlops. New tire. Sort a combo Elite and E3... I'm hoping the same mileage as E3s, about 8500, which was better than the Elites, about 4500.. Bikes were 95 ci 02 rk and a 103 ci egc. Got about 6000 out of a 402 on egc when it was stage 1 96 ci.
Why I won't run spoke wheels anymore... yeah someone should have caught that before it got to that point but they didn't. I'm thankful I heard the air leaking out when I had stopped at my fathers house. The chrome is filthy because I held on to the wheel for a long time to show folks, it was perfect from the outside right up to the time it failed.
