Has anyone changed their wheels to the fat spokes (Mammoth, Fat Daddy etc) as well as changed sizes?

I'm considering it but looking to see if anyone has encountered any problems doing this.

There also seems to be an issue with ABS (no-one can tell me why).

Any info on the topic will be appreciated. Cheers.

The factory rims have two styles of wheel bearings. The ABS ones are different to the non-ABS. I assume they have some sort of pickup or notching for the ABS wheel speed sensor to read.

When you order a HD wheel fitting kit you spec which it is for.

No idea if the aftermarket guys can do the same thing but as far as I know the rims are the same just the bearings are different.

Hope this helps.

cheers

Hey KT, was emailing these guys about some fat spokes and they seem very knowledgeable as far as I can tell.

I'll get out of your little touring section now.
