     So the Minister for War and Finance has given me the green light to start the next stage on my bike - the wheels.  :)  YEAH BABY!!

    So...  I am looking for opinions on front wheel size.  I am thinking on coming up a size, and am looking at Renegade wheels.

    Opinions?

     Thanks man!  I had thought about keeping the stock back wheel, but I reckon I will change them both out.  Why would there be a difference for a roadside repair??

     

    I love photoshop!  Found some nice RC Component wheels what ya reckon of this look?

     Nice work with  PS!

    For what my opinion is worth I reckon that looks amazingly hot and I think it looks better with a guard, not to mention keeping crap off you and the bike ...

    I like the stock rear because then the front screams "look at me" - more of a contrast if you know what I mean.

    Thanks lads!! Yeah I see what you mean about spokes. No spokes on this beast. Mags only - so no tube.

    I wished I knew someone with a 21 inch wheel so I can see what it looks like in the flesh!

    ...  and if the Minister has given you the green light ...

     

    Then that could mean more cash on the front wheel only and a hell of a lot of cases of lubrication as well , or cams, or ...

     

    even a weekend away to thank the Minister    (Ok, Ok or tickets to the grand final as well as a hot front wheel!)

    If it where up to me and my bike I'd be looking at wwwriderightwheels.com fat daddy wheels with a one piece rolled alloy rim and a modular hub that can fit any bike. Cool fat spokes and they can even engrave the rim!! If and when I think I'll be looking at getting 17" front and rear to sharpen up the streering and a greater range of tyres.

    They are not bad mate - Although I am after mags not spokes - the Pepe is not bad.
