    Got these a few years back think they where called fat daddy 50 spokes got them through rolleys I think they are called yes diamond cut spokes and there is a special rubber band in side the rim to put tubeless tyers on spoke wheel and these wheels weren't cheap

    Those heavy chrome spokes look magic. Do they impact much on the unsprung weight of the wheel and does that even make any difference to the ride on a bike

     Sounds good but with Mammouth i think i have to change my pulley and rotors to suit them more $$$ on top another 3-400  , i dont think i have to with ride wrights by the sound of what Bluey says  this is where im at , also the springer has a different hub offset to a standard front end  so i dont want to order the wrong thing or have to mess with a shit load of spacers to get it right ?
