Well it's been almost a year since I started this thread but I made the plunge and got the DNA Mammoth. I love the look and so far no problems but then again it's only been on for 3 days :-)
The rotors will thow out the balance but I am not sure if it would be so noticeable since the rotors ar on the inner part of the circumference. However I have a question for you: does the ride height affect you much now with the taller front end? Did you lower the forks any? If so how much?
I ordered a 21x3.5 front back in march 13. I haven't had any problems other than my abs light is on. I believe I have a bad abs bearing. The front sensor is reading 0mph all the time. Kc international is closed by the time I get home from work. And I just figured I would put a new bearing when I had the time. My wife says it would be better on my blood pressure, because I'm not good usually with customer service people.

No I didn't lower the front end. Its in future plans, but now I see no major difference. I;m 6'1" so its not much different for me. It still handles fine to me in curves, it is heavy at low speed manuevers, but I just have to compensate for it. I can see why folks choose to lower the front back to stock height and I can see why folks don't. Its all up to personal preference.
Yea Im running a Vee Rubber 21x3.5 in the front and 16x3.5 in the rear. No problems with them. Ive riddent in down pouring ran for 2.5 hours one time and they handled well. With the 21x3.5 white wall, Vee Rubber is the only maker of this size white wall. I didn't want that narrow tire that Metzler makes. I thinkg its a 2.15 or something like that. Thats to narrow for a touring bike in my opinion and you loose handling ability. Thats just my opinion though. The wider the tire the better I feel riding it
I want to here from folks with DNA Mammoth spoke wheels that have recently purchased these wheels. Im getting mixed reviews from the searches Ive done on the forum, where some say bad and some say no problems at all, but most are 2 year old posts. I need some 2012 feedback. I like these wheels and for the cost its very tempting but I need to know if they have fixed the quality issues they had years ago.

I ordered and paid for a Mammoth 52 spoke rim 21 in 3.5 through one of their distributors, Outlaw Cycle Products, on 3/10/2014. I was given a ship date of approximately 3 weeks, I received the rim 4/24/14 (6 wks) later, after having it mounted, the dealership called me to say there was a leak, the new tire wasn't holding air and it was definitely a leak in the rim. After constant calling, only to be lied to, I left it to my dealership to get the return label, they spoke with them on a 3way call with me and promised to have my rim enroute back to them in 48 hrs. My rim was delivered back to them on 5/6/2014 and I still don't have it back. A million apologies and no compensation for missed riding time and the money I may lose from Myrtle Beach. I'm felling pure hatred for this company and their lack of caring, they got the money so now it's like screw you. I am considering legal action
I guess they are selling so many that a few upset customers means nothing to them. I would like to have a set but the poor customer service has me thinking twice.
