    I really like the eight, for some reason they go better with the front wheels. They are lighter too, right?

    Definitely use the 8 spoker; from the way everyone is saying use the 5 and sell "them" the 8, I reckon they feel the same. I have both 5 and 8 as well, and prefer the 8. Am going to source a second front wheel, and have the 8 and second front painted gold... And as far as weight is concerned, the best way to lighten total rolling weight is for the rider to lose the weight, lol

    Just realised that this thread is 8 months old, what did you decide?
