Riding review after rim changes

The handling is good but not the speed

Last Thursday I decided to test the bike. I was satisfied with the handling. Those 2.5 x 17 (f) & 3.5 x 17 (r) rims are comfortable. The bike became more stable and braking process also going smoothly. Then when turned I can easily control the bike.

Unfortunately I disappointed in machine sector. Adapted a 40 rear sprocket I could reach only 80 km/h. I tested the bike in straight road BSD. I wonder there is a problem in my speedometer since rims changes. It runs so slow.

Next Friday I want to see my fellow to discuss this problem. He applied same rims as I applied.

Brand new rims!

Finally a 2.5 x 17 (front) and 3.5 x 17 (rear) rims are equipped in my bike. I’m so happy! I’ve been waiting for this since January 2012. My previous front rim was damaged after hit pothole in BSD road. It affected to my front tire, leaked. For about 4 months I had to be more often fill my front tire. I thought a rims change is really needed.



Actually I’ve planned to change the rims before because it looks too thin. And after the incident the plan run faster.




Here are V-rossi three bars casting wheels equipped with 110/70 (front) tire and 120/70 (rear) tire. This changes leas into other changes in rear gear, chain, and rear disc brake.

A review after those changes will be posted later.
