Good day all
I changed a front spoked rim with a mag, probably in need of something with tread at the time.
I changed the mag back to spokes (relaced by me, and it was true). It felt like I was driving a big heavy bagger (slow in the turns, exact same tires).
What's the weight deference between spokes and a mag? Has anyone run into this before? I love the look of spokes
but don't want to sacrifice handling. The rear was fine except for high speed wobble, I think I could attribute that to the swing arm since no change
between the different front rims.
