New Wheels

[felix]

Has anyone installed aftermarket wheels. like some billet or carbon fiber, are there any vendors out there that even makes for the Trophy SE??? Just asking as I can see myself looking for a set as I not the biggest fan of the stock.

Also has anyone used the beads to balance the wheels?

I know that many dealers no longer use bead balancing.  Both the dealers I use  refuse to do so even though customers request.  There were a couple abbreviated discussions of the topic earlier which you can find by using the search tool.

That's news to me  I've used beads on several bikes without any issue other than a bit of faffing around when changing tyres or doing a puncture repair.

Must admit that the quality of the paint or the paint process leaves a lot to be desired.
Could do better with a spray can !

Wonder what color would look good on a silver bike?

Kineo do a spoked wheel conversion for the Explorer (it includes a new hub), I belive you can lace on a selection of rim sizes, if you like spoked wheels that is
