The wheels he has in mind are very strong and designed for the kind of riding I will be doing. There will be a high spoke count and he showed me what to do should a spoke break when I am on the road. Hopefully that won't happenOriginally Posted by bikerHen
Speaking as one who has spent WAY more than $300. to upgrade just about everything on my LHT, I would say do it! Just don't mess with those bar end shifters. They are perfect just the way they are.bikerHen
If you plan to do loaded touring, don't get too fancy with the hand built wheels. You need a high spoke count to carry the extra weight. You also want to stick with common, easy to replace spokes in case you find yourself doing a roadside spoke replacement.I won't be doing much in the way of full loaded touring, more of a "go anywhere and everywhere" kind of thing with probable light touring.
