p6x Posted November 19 Author Share Posted November 19 Did anybody notice the new tangential spokes on tubeless rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomchri Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Like the look of spokes, hope Guzzi have more luck than BMW making a round wheel. Yes bought a new GS 1250 HP in 19, the front wheel had a shaking realy stressing the bike at H speed. Went to the dealer, yes they agreed, not round, bouth ways. New wheel,, was it round, NO. Thats it, finished with spokes. Cheers Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiomick Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 54 minutes ago, Tomchri said: finished with spokes... I've been finished with them since the late '80s. I rode from Melbourne to Queensland on my Z900. On the way back, it might have been about here https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=11/-30.1327/151.6851 I noticed that the bike was a bit weird in a curve. I could see a small town in the distance, so I kept going and stopped there. The weirdness was a flat rear tyre. I knocked on a door, and was directed to a bloke up the rode who drove trucks. He had a workshop, and fixed the flat for me. The problem was a loose spoke (ok, I should have checked them, perhaps...). I was extremely lucky. It was heading towards evening, and in the middle of nowhere. It that bloke hadn't been there, I would have been right royally up the proberbial creek without a paddle in sight. On top of that, spoked wheels are a pain in the arse to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 The V7 Corsa and the Mandello S are both feeling a little sporty... And we're all wordering if a new LeMans is in the future. I dropped in to GP Motorcycles yesterday. They have a V100 in all red. It's striking... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
