    Where the rest of the hunnerd going?
    Haven't decided that yet, I'm sure I'll need a few replacements here & there along the trails.

    Not likely Mr. K, I gave up on giving any more value than what I paid for other peoples opinions...a LONG time ago...
    In my entire life, I've never had any desire to "go with the flow" or be seen driving what everyone else is driving.
    All the way back to my first conveyance, (a tricycle, I think) I've been personalizing whatever is getting me from point A, to point B...
    With little or no regard for what everyone else might be doing.

    My Father (RIP) & Brother are the exact opposite, they'll drive a new car off the lot & never change a thing other than normal wear items...seems so sad & boring to me, but as long as they are happy with their choices...

    Brotha Dub,

    I'm usually not into the spike thang but they look real nice.

    Are they pressed in or threaded? It looks like they went into existing holes on the rim so what did you have to drill?

    Thanx T man...
    What look like existing holes are just decorative indents, made centering the drill bit E-Z...
    The studs are threaded on the inside, & held on from the back side of the rim by...what else?...stainless cap screws...

    Oh, & let's not forget...a little loc-tite.

    It's only the webbing between the spokes, didn't drill through anything that's crucial to keeping compressed air on the inside...
    Each hole is only large enough to accept a stainless 8-32 cap screw.

    But remind me to drive in front of you which every year I think I have.. Just in case one breaks off.. Dont plan on changing a flat on a trail this year lol.

    I never understood why people keep things the same and never personalize.
