Default 60 or 40 ?

i have a 2006 nighttrain, i have a solid rim in the back which im replacing with a spoke wheel. im getting an offset rim 18x7inch so it will look deep. im torn between the 60 spoke and the 40 spoke. if i order the 40 i dont have to change the front, which saves me $$$. so 60 or 40? any thoughts?

I like the look of spokes but I want a tubless tire so I don't have to be towed if I get a flat. You sure you want to do that? If so, I say save the money and get the 40. good luck!

That's why you get the best of both worlds! Spoked wheels that will accept tubeless tires!

Personally I would get the 60 spoke. And then down the line get the 60 spoke front wheel.

D175, where did you get your wheels? Are they 16" or 19" (hard to tell with your front fender)

I like the look of the 40, easier to clean and IMO the 60 and more spoke wheels look like something that should be on an import car.[:'(]
