5 or 8 spokes? Tell me what you think.

Welcome back KC!
How was the trip?

Toe Cutter, how about I trade you my five spoke for your eight spoke, then you'll have a pair.

Your lucky to have found an eight spoke. How much did you pay?

 

I'm with these guys in combination: I vote 8-spoke, but you should choose the 5-spoke and sell me the 8-spokes. :smile:

And it also depends on the weight penalty for the 8-spoke as Vlad noted.

 

i like the 5er. they're going to be hard enough to keep clean as it is!

 

I will Second that

 

The 8 spokes do it for me all day long.............:cheersaf:

 

well they both look cool but how many are on the front wheel???? yeah I think the spoke number is supposed to match ...unless its a cruiser then they cant match 28 on front and 13 extra wide on back..:cheersaf:

 

I think they both look great! keep them both andswitch them on cleaning days for a change!

 

Five is what I would like.

 

@#%$*& wheel

Well thats13 for 8 and 8 for five and 4 for undecided.Sounds like my group .I bought the wheel for my 86 and it struck me after I put tires on it that it would fit the 07. Sounds like swap for cleaning is where I'm at.

 

The front is a 6 spoker. So neither will match. I like the "busy" look of the 8 spoker. Wish I had the funds for one.

I say 5 .

 

eight :vtr2:

 

I would go w/ the 5

 

go with the five

 

What's the model of bike that the 8 spoke came from? I'd love to acquire one.

 

Not a fan of the eight spoke. I think it looks busy, and don't like it. I prefer the simplier lines of the 5.

The 8 looks old to me for some reason. But it's your bike.

 

90 to 93 was eight spoke

 

That's exactly why I like it. An Anniversary Edition with retro paint and retro wheels...Tasty. :cheersaf:

 

eight has weight. five keeps the bike alive. i would stil choose eight just looks more trick

 

eight, who cares about the weight, it looks great!
