Thanks dude.
I was torn for a while on whether to get a red rear wheel. The problem is that after 40 odd years of BMX I know that coloured rear wheels will look like shit after a few rides.
There's also the fact that the rear wheel on the bike is a 300 quid wheel, and having played with it I've come to the conclusion before even riding it that I'm going to like it.
TBH the Metal is a similar story. I had black wheels on that and within a few rides the rear was wearing badly on the braking surface.
So I put on polished wheels. Which imo are the best wheels to use. They look almost as good as chrome, but won't peel, and you can get the brake rub off very easily.
So, with front wheels being much cheaper than rears, especially freecoaster wheels I am going to either but a polished front wheel or get one built. Source have stock of the Fly Lunar Lite which is the same but not as strong, so I think I'm going to get one built. It won't look as nice as red wheels or gold, but they won't turn to shit after a few rides.
Sadly talking of riding it. I can't . Turns out the bellend I bought the fork from removed the fookin crown race, even though it's specific ONLY to that fork. So I have to get one made, or I'll destroy them.
Ah well, patience is a virtue.

Yeah I'm also a coloured tyre hater but I just wanted to put lots of colour on it.
My mate calls them the seagull poop tyres lol.
Midschoolfool:
Yeah, decision has been made.

I like, I also like the red front wheel too. Nearly bought one for my Hellcat. What put me off was matching it up with a rear too.
