16 inch wheels on a cb450
OneArmWillie:
I have the ability to get some 80 spoke wheels for this cb450 build cheap. Whats your opinion? I have not been able to find anything on this in photos to see the look. Whats your opinion positives and negatives...
DrJ:
Only if you're building a slam-tailed bobber or bratsyle.
Big Rich:
I feel bad for the poor bastard that has to lace / true them........
Like the good doctor said - not a cafe kind of wheel. They would add a lot of unnecessary weight to the rotational mass, but would make them fairly rigid. Wouldn't the nipples be extremely close together on the rim?
Flugtechnik:
I've seen something similar on freestyle bikes and thought it looked cool. Though not really part of the cafe ethos of lightweight as already mentioned.
OneArmWillie:
I can get my hands on some 40 spoke 16s as well. But I am more concerned with the size rather than the laces. I have looked for cafes with both 16s front and rear but cant find anything.
