Would you change the rims to alloy and 18" ?
As you all probably know , the XT600E has a 21/17 Chromed steel wheels.
Iv been told an 18" rear is a better choice and Dave Lambeth stocks them off the shelf.
I also know a wheel builder who can build the original hubs with Excel Alloy rims (any size)for £160 quid.
Are there problems with an 18" rear wheel ?
Is alloy a better choice than steel (easier to straighten steel, alloy cracks) ?
Should i just change the rear and keep the original front ?
opinions appreciated. Ed
