Real Unhappy

[seadog]

I am really unhappy with the rear rim on my F6B. It is like they forgot to finish the other side of the rim. It traps a whole lot of dust and debris and is an absolute pain in the azz to clean. Has anyone found a better rear rim for this bike that had the complete spokes instead of the half done ones.

They've been like that scene 2001,if you have a center stand turn the wheel and run water thru it not that big of a deal

Who looks at the back rim? Very well hidden and unless you get down on your hands and knees for a peek, there is no way to tell how dirty or clean it is--- JMHO of course.

How do you have time to look at the rear wheel while riding down the rode?

All I do is ride / I decided after seeing the scuffs and scratches when I picked my brand new bike up at the dealer to never look that close and just ride the bike. Sure I will wash it and throw a quick coat or two of Liquid Glass on it once a month but I prefer to ride the hell out of it and not worry.

I had a 68 Camaro that needed a paint job. I just stenciled "Road Warrior" on the dented door panel after I saw the movie and then drove the crap out of it. I never worried about how it looked when I was spitting gravel all over the place. I was out riding when others were polishing their cars or bikes. I drove that Camaro for 30 years with "Road Warrior" on the door panel. Everyone knew my car and loved the spirit behind it.

Bikes and cars are for riding around not polishing.

+1.....I''ll bet mine is dirty too. Just passed 3100 miles, and cleaned it once. It was dirty the next day. It will get cleaned again the next time I ride in the rain.

I hear ya Seadog; the wheel does seem kinda chincy... but I guess it works and isn't really noticeable like mentioned.

No big deal and I am 75 my friend...Put it on the center stand and use your leaf blower a couple of spurts and it works for me..On occasion I will clean out the entire rear wheel areas, but as said on above posts..Who really looks under there to check???....More important things to worry about in my opinion....Ride safe

I clean the rim every time I change the rear tire, oh wait I don't do that often anymore because I run a CT. Guess it will just have to get dirty. It's a spare rim anyway!!
