Okay-- i love the look of the C- im not a fan of the cast wheels though - and am thinking of putting some R spokes on her. I have 2 concerns im wondering if any R owners can help me with: 1. Maintenance- Are spoke rims a pain in the arse? Any problems using spokes> 2. Balance- Is a spokes wheel more prone to vibration or imbalance? My bike is smooth to 110 + and i want to keep it that way... THoughts? :choppersm
