Hi Roberto,
Wire Spoke Wheels? I am aware of 2 makes. One being BMW - they look funny to me as the spokes go right to the outer edges of the rim.
The other make is Dymag who manufacture a lovely set of Carbon spoke wheels which are tubeless and originally made for the Ducati Monster (see http://www.dymag.com/Wire%20Spokes.htm ).
Over here the Dymags are available for other bikes (Triumph) at £2957 (Jack Lilley).
I don't think these options are viable for our Tenere (I have an '88 model).
I have also seen mention of a US company who 'seals' the inside of the rim, so that you can fit a tubeless tyre. I don't know anybody who has tried it, and I think most people would be a bit worried about the potential of an air leak?
Ciao, Geoff
