Wheels (tubed vs tubeless) on a BMW NineT Racer
ninetracer replied to ninetracer's topic in Motorbike Chat
Thanks for all reactions & insights! Food for thought... but a bike only has 2 wheels and I don't want to add any risk or give in on the bike's dynamic handling I'll probably go for the alloy wheels. In terms of riding position, I have test ridden the racer and for me personally it was great! Sure, it's probably not the best bike to buy for comfort or to take long trips on but having owned a CBR and GSXR in the past it didn't feel uncomfortable to me. -
Hi, I'm planning to buy a BMW NineT Racer but would like some insights on the pro's and cons of the wheels. The Racer is standardly equiped with alloy wheels but offers spoked wheels as an option. I really like the spoked ones so these would be my first choice. However this also means that I will be riding with tubes. Besides more cleaning I can find some less obvious cons on this (more dangerous when punctured, driving behaviour). Is this something to consider? Any input is appreciated! Thx Sven
