I have a 21" spoke wheel on my 13 RKC and got a flat in Nevada (middle of nowhere on 90W). Luckily for me it was the tube and not the tire and a local cycle shop was able to get one with their daily parts order when I contacted them from the road. Thanks to HOG BTW for helping through that but I had them get me 2 tubes and from now on, any long distance trips will include bringing an extra 21" tube. Can't speak for 23 or bigger sizes but my guess, if needed, is those would be a tad more difficult to get so better bring one if you're riding far and in desolate terrain.

The more I looked at the 19" front wheel on such a big bike the goofier it looked to me.
I guess I was used to the 21" that was on the Night Train I had before I bought the RG.
Started to go with a 21" then 23" and finally decided on the 26". I'm glad I went big the first time, saved me some money in the long run.

I tend to agree with the "cartoon" reference. The more of these giant front wheeled bikes I see, the more they remind me of a comic book character vs what they started as. The 21 is fine and some 23's look nice too but anything bigger than that and the proportions of the bike look off to me but that's just my opinion. I won't ever have one like that but to each their own.
