Fat spoke on ridgeback

[JonathanWeatherford]

Anyone ever seen one or have pic of one on ridgeback? Thinking black rim chrome fat spoke, any suggestions or pics of any appreciateedb

spokes tend to come loose more on big inch motors that vibrate alot. and you are talking about a ridgeback that vibrates even more. your choice but be ready to check and tighten the spokes and re-true the wheels quite often.

although BDM did put spokes on the mutt for a while, they eventually went with billet wheels.

It was an idea, just thinking. Now rethinking

I have a mutt with 13,000 miles on it and other then three front rims because of NJ pot holes I never had a problem with the spokes. There is a member from NC by the name of GKC that broke a few spokes on his back rim last year. If it were me I would not put them on a ridgeback.

My ridgeback has a rc nitro front rim and it's cool I just want something different
I'd take a factory pitchfork

I wouldn't go with a spoked rim on that ridge unless you can get some bigger spokes. I don't know how that would look though, I'm trying to visualize it and I can't...:roll: Sorry, I know this doesn't help!!!

Yeah I know I can't picture it either, I was thinking black rim fat chrome spokes but really want to see it on any chopper

Would you go with an 80 or hundred spoke?

Spokes
Count me in !
Check out my post HomeDawg in the general forum .
I put spokes on my chopper. 80 spoke rims from American Wire Wheel .
I wouldn't have it any other way.

No problems with the spokes on my mutt.
To me spokes are classic and never go out of style.
That is why I went with the mutt when I decided on big dog.

Spokes on the front would be cool. I have no evidence of it,but have been told that with the power of these bikes you run the risk of ripping spokes out if you run a spoke wheel on the rear.
