Another DNA Mammoth spoke thread...
So I have decided I am gonna get the Mammoth fat spokes for my bike when my other wheels sell. 21" for the front and either a 16" or 18" for the rear. The choices are whitewall or blackwall. If I get blackwalls I can get a 21 18, but if I am going to whitewalls I gotta get the 16 rear. I want some opinions on how blackwall vs whitewall will look on MY bike, and the differences between 16 or 18 on the rear. I am starting to think the whitewalls are too much hassle and I would ahve sacrifice a bit of style for the bigger rear wheel. Well, what do yoiu think? The whitewall on my bike now really set it off in my opinion.

Well the only company that makes a whitewall in 18" is Maxxis, and I am a little hesitant to mix brand and get soem tire brand I ahve never used. That deluxe does look wicked though, doesn't it? Dixie, this is exactly why I asked. I want YOUR opinion.

Well, I am planning on going 18" on front and back, but I know you are into the 21" front type of style like Dinger, and now mimo. I think your bike will look great with blackwalls. What do you want more, a 21" front wheel or white walls?
For myself, I don't want to go as extreme as the 21" front but definately want to go bigger than stock. Also, the 18 will not require a new fender or moding my stock fender at the moment. Although I have considered going 16 rear and 18 front.
good luck with your choice, it will look killer either way.
