Default Threw in the towel

After six weeks of waiting for my ride wright 21 inch 50 spoke fat daddy rim and v rubber tire i decided to throw in the towel and i canceled my order. I started having second thoughts a couple of weeks ago and the extra time helped me make the decision. I really feel i was just following the pack on this one and that what i have right now is really me. I have had the fat daddy rims on my bike now over four years and they are still as nice looking as the day i got them. The 21 is a nice look but i was straying off the path that i have been on for years. Its a trend right now the 21 apes and fat daddy wheels. Almost every one on the forum has this set up or wants it. It's not about the money I have spent my share. I am going to stick with my 16 inch fat daddy rims. I am sure I can find some thing else to spend it on. Here I am waiting on a tire that may or may not meet the quality standards I want and I am not sure i will like the way it will handle. Maybe I'll take another look at it when the 120 70 21 tires come more readily available. My last cAll about the tire was very negative saying they now had no idea when these tires will show up in the good old usa

Sorry is didn't pan. I hate long orders that go bad. All that time at the window with your nose against the glass.

Fwiw I think it looks good as is, I like a fat front myself.

I'm glad. I really think the style you have going on with your bike looks better with the 16" wheel.
On the other hand I was hoping to convince you to sell it to me once you had the 21 .

Your bike works for me, I hate waiting for parts and not knowing about the tire can it and move on. Time to ride now anyways
