Personally, I wouldn't switch to a 16" but if you have a 200 rear you may find that is the only reasonable choice for a rear that matches your front.

 

Damn sig pics....I only use mobile version and it sucks...that's why I have no sig

 

Your Sig pic isn't showing on the desktop version either, we just see the text of your photo link

 

Hahahaha wow all that **** is still on there!! On got on a PC once and that was the end result of my attempt to get a sig pic up...obviously I gave up

 

What size is your rear tire? It looks much lower a profile than most 200's.

 

Im pretty sure Midgards is an 18" x 5.5", whereas mine (and the stock one) is a 17" x 6". His is also a standard spoke wheel and not a profile wheel.

 

He must have a 200-50-18 then - not a 55-17 as stock.

 

i like the fat spokes...

 

The do look good - just lots of them out there. I like a the old school feel of a well built 60 spoke.

Anybody have any experience with a "sealed" spoked wheel? I've heard they leak anyway and sealing them makes adjusting spokes a nightmare. I've also heard they never leak and keep spokes from rattling loose. Anybody got anything first hand?

 

yeah, i agree they are common. but ive seen some awesome bikes with fat spokes, and a lot with the skinny's. they both look good for sure!

im actually debating between 52 fat spokes, 60 skinny spoke old school style wheels, but also really like some of the nice cut out billet black wheels (but they are big big $$$$$).... right now im leaning towards the black DNA mammoth fat 52 spoke black wheels, but at the same time the other 2 have there place as well... tough call....
