Sorry you had such a bad experience. At the same time I have to say thank you. I was thinking about going with these wheels, but listening to your issues, I think I'll stick with what I've got and look at a different direction for wheels.

 

Shame about the poor experience. I had Ride Wrights on my Softail. Also very expensive as I'm in the UK too. Thankfully didn't have any problem with mine.
I've come to the conclusion after issues with buying other stuff in the US (and having problems) is that in the grand scheme of things one off problems so far away from their main customer bases are really not worth worrying about, and as such are pretty much ignored!!!

 

That's too bad to hear. There are several threads on the Softail postings who discuss the quality of the Ride Wright wheels. Now, most of them talk about the great customer service that Sam provided, then again, they were all U.S. customers. It only took me reading one post to realize that I would look elsewhere for wheels for both my UC and my Softie. Good luck getting support from them, I hope they make it right.

 

not sure I understand why you wouldn't accept new wheel that was offered. sounds like they wanted to make it right.

Get youself some rubber splicing tape from an electrical supplier and a couple tubes of silicone rubber,, I use scotch 130C 2 inch wide splicing tape,,, coat the wheel with the silicne and when real tacky put the rubber tape around it stretching it just a little bit and after about 4 wraps use some 3M weatherstrip adhesive and glue the final 6 inches.. this will prevent the leaks around the spokes...

 

Many thanks JesseT, I'll give that a go. It means I'll be able to get back to tubeless. Appreciate it.

 

Halfwit that really sucks. I've been in the market myself for a Fat Spoke 21" wheel. I considered Ride Wright but ended up going with DNA. I just put it on yesterday and I'm very pleased. After reading your post I even went out to check the tire pressure and all was good. At the first glance, I thought it was flat but It was just my mind playing tricks on me. Sorry that happened to you. Stay on their *** and write as many bad reviews as you can till they make it right.
