    Spoke Wheels & Tires ( Classic vs Pure )

    I thought twice about this project and decided to try to find a hub in order to keep my 19' wheel built. I called my dealer this morning: Been told the hub isn't available as a separate part. They just sell the whole wheel. I find that pretty scandalous ! :mad::mad:

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Using the reverse on each ride, I got used to all the safety rules, and I have no problem with it. But I'd like to have it renewed if needed.

    Spoke Wheels & Tires ( Classic vs Pure )

    I never tried a Classic. But I like the look. I have a big fat front tire on my Montauk and the handling is ok.
