Hey, first thread so please go easy on me!
I'm a 6'6'' guy riding an XXL Langster (2009 silver). I'm interested in swapping out the front wheel/rim for something a bit low profile (Shimmy RS10 perhaps). However I've been told by someone at Action Bikes that, at my size (15St/90Kg), few radial spoks would handle the pounding.
Is this true!?
Furthermore would a slim-rim, radial spok'd wheel make my bike look fit for a tit!?
