There are all kinds of options for wheels for your bike. Al major wheel manufacturers make wheels that will fit. PM, Ride Wright, Renegade, etc. etc. etc. You can put an 18" or 19" on there. You can do a 21" of you raise your fender, although some have done it without needing to raise the fender.

Try a shield. Your body is catching more wind than that wheel.

Look at TK, he has 50,ooo miles on his solid wheeled bike.

go with the most open wheel you can find.... then never ride about 40MPH - that's the magic speed that all wheels become "solid".

I love this myth! FaTBoy wheels are the only ones that get blown all over the roads....

Cupping? Tire pressure? Start a new thread and ask that question. Pics are always good. Or search cupping, cupped tires.... Also, if you take your hands off the handle bars going 50-60 mph, does your bike pull to one side? Could be alignment? Search alignment... Again, start a new thread - good luck!

your leaning to the right when you drive or you are driving on roads that lean to the left all the time. throw some flour in the road and drive thru it and then check the tire or have someone take a picture from behind when you ride.
