But for what I sell the old ones for I'll pay for part of the new ones. Plus I dealer pricing which is a little bit less.

Stone, let us know when you get them installed, if you run into any problems with the tubes fitting. As you know, some guys had to drill the valve stem hole to make the tubes fit. Just let us know what happens with the install

Is anyone interested in a shift linkage made out of a fat spoke? I am trying to see if I can get them made.

Country, I figured I would have to drill out the vavle stem hole. Is there any chance the chrome might peel off from the drill bit? Just have to be careful.

Drew, Do you have any pics? What are you thinking for cost on that. I think that would look sick.
