I'm thinking about getting 80 spokes for my RKC. Has anyone done this with 16" wheels. I was told my a guy that I should get 18" wheels if I'm going to go to 80 spoke, because the double rotors would hide them with 16", but I'm not convinced. I like my 16" wheels, I think they ride and handle better than 18".
Anyone got 16" 80 spokes on a touring model with pictures?

Doesn't anyone have 16" 80 spoke wheels on a touring bike? Maybe I'll be the first to do it, but I seriously doubt it.

my first set of wheels on my 07 SG were DNA 80 spokes 18s.

It rode better than the 16s; this could have been the metzler tires.

i loved the look -- got them from american classics for a very good price.

extremely difficult to keep the front clean.

 

Where's the picture?
