21" spoke
Hello, I'm new here so y'all help me out. I am looking to put an 80 spoke 21 on my 06 Heritage. I have looked at DNA and Ride Wright. What are some pros and cons on each? Also and other brands I might need to look at?

Well lets see, I think I can help out alittle bit. Thats what Im doin now is researching spokes. Im thinkin of runnin fat spokes, Some people dont like DNAs, but Ive had 2 sets of them, with no issues. Ride wrights have a great reputation, but they are pricey. Sinister makes a great lookin spoke also, and they are average priced. If your new on this site, theres lots of threads on wheels, opinions and such. Alot of guys on here will help with just about anything you can think of to do to your scoot.

Let's see...I don''t sell DNA's as we had numerous quality issues with their rims and they have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I think they hired their customer service people off the nearest street corner.
Ride Wright makes a much better product and also has great customer service so if there were to be an issue (which rarely happens) it WILL get taken care of. I always recommend Ride Wright.

Thanks! Y'all have some sharp rides. While we are at it what about a tire? Metzeler, Avon, or Dunlop?

Dunlops are good, but if your goin to run a 21 up front go with Metz. Ive heard some bad stuff with avons. Like discoloring and defected, now, may have been a bad batch. Avons also have the smaller white wall, than a metz. Also, metz whitewalls go all the way to the rim, avons have a strip of Black between the rim and the whitewall. Just doesnt look rite to me, JMHO. Now, if you wanna run a FAT Ganster White wall, that will cost you some CHEDDAR. Vee rubbers are Around $250 a tire, and Hothawgz are $389 but they have the FAT white wall, almost double the size of metz or avons. I dont think Dunlop offers a 21 inch tire. If you run a 21 up front, depending on what size you run width wise, you will have to stretch a metz or avon on a 21x3 or wider wheel. If you need anymore info just hit me up on my profile.
