17" or 18" rear wheel ? Alloy or steel ?
Tried searching but found nothing specific so thought id start a new thread !!
Im trying to work out if its worth changing the chromed steel 21/17 wheels on my XT600 to Excel alloy rims.
More importantly, if i did, should I go for an 18" rear wheel ? I know an 18 rides better but im worried that I may not be able to find suitable tyres on my Alaska-Argentina trip.
Iv heard reports of 18" road biast tyres being hard to find unless going for mud pluggers.
Thanks in advance, ed
