Re: Who runs early alloy wheels tubeless?
Rob, doing well!! That said, both Morris and Lester marketed cast wheels appropriate for tubeless tires. They are rare as hen's teeth these days. If you find Morris wheels available, buy them regardless! Do not use tubeless tires on those old snowflakes or you will go directly to hell, do not pass g...

Reconstructing the airhead frame with the intent of achieving contemporary performance standards is a bit naiv...

Re: Frame Brace Thoughts

Re: Frame Brace Thoughts
Nourish, My thought is that welding the subframe/mainframe connections creates a structure which serves to restrict frame distortion caused by forces acting upon the wheel/swing arm. The substantial SA of the mono frame addresses these forces. Still, the rear "down tubes" of the mainframe ...
