Wire wheels or alloys?
I'm kitting my Moto Guzzi Griso out for a RTW trip.
Would my original Brembo alloy wheels be ok in the rough and tumble?
Ideally I would convert to spokes as on the Griso SE model but have been quoted £2.5k (!!) for the change over.
Spokes have the advantage of handling more weight, being more flexible therefore soaking up the bumps better (and you can straighten rims and spokes if need be), and I would have the option of putting a tube in if need be.
Advantages of alloy rims is I save £2.5k.
Anyone had problems with sport bike type alloy rims in 3rd world countries?
