Default Spoked Rear Wheel !!


Hi there,

Live2Ride asked where I got this wheel, it is an Apollo 60 spoke 17"6.25 with a Metzler 210 50, it is a little pricey, however all I get is complements on it and people saying to take the bags off . . LOL
It is kind of hard to see with the bags on it, the spokes are centered on the wheel, very happy with the result

Thanks for the info. Did you have to do any other mods? And I guess I'll be another one of the people who'd like to see it without the bags.

Nope no other mods, that is why I chose to go with a 17" spoke because I would not have to change anything else, I did have my Indy guy put in on for me, he said no problems!!


Thanks

Either take the bags off or give them a hair cut!

If I remember right, the wheel is 1/4" wider and the Tire is 1/2"wider, if I am wrong I am sure to hear about soon!!
