F6B To The Dark Side

[bob109]

Found this intense article on the web about CT vs MT.

That is a remarkable article and worth reading by all cycle riders!

Thanks for bringing it to this post.

I saw a CT on a Victory Cross Country Tour today. I talked to the guy for a while cuz I'm really interested in the topic. He's been doing it for years. Loves it. Puts a ton of miles on bikes. He told me of a place locally that will install them so I'll be looking into it in the future. I only have 1200 miles on the new Stone right now.

The stock wheel on a F6B has a designation of "J 16M/CXMT5.00 DOT 13W" which is clearly on the back of the rim. The J designation is used for identifying most automotive rims. Something to remember when comparing MT/CT rims
