STAY AWAY FROM DNA. Just installed a set of wheels and after 200 miles front failed, leaked air and went down so quick it ruined the brand new Metzler tire. This is after they shipped the wrong front wheel and wrong pulley and didn't want to make things right.

I will never use anything from them again.

I run DNA Mammoth Spoke without issues, I have friends who run Ride Wright Wheels and others who run American Wire Wheels, we all run tubes and they are all tubeless rims, the problem with tubeless spoke rims is where they have to put the valve stem, on mag style rims they put it on a flat spot and can get a good seal, on spohe rims it is on the curve and if it gets hit it will leak, we all with three different companies had trouble running tubeless, if you want to be tubeless run a mag ,if you want spokes install a tube, DNA are very reasonable priced but customer service is slow, to me worth the money

Dubld is right,stay away fron D.N.A. wheels. I feel the fat spoke wheels are too heavy and the touring suspension isn't the best anyway,so why make it worse? If you must by them, imho stay away from d.n.a.

Dan if your suspension won't handle fat spoke rims you need a new suspension, I had factory Harley spoke rims before the DNA and notice no difference in the ride, we were in North Carolina and my buddy running rww Fat Spoke rims went flat because he was running tubeless, again it is not a good idea to run any spoked wheel tubeless

Good advice dna wheels suck I had mine a year before the hub split. I've been getting the run around 4 months telling me they lost my info and not returning my calls r emails. Service is the worst will never by dna again
