Removed the stock 'Death Wings' from the DR and replaced 'em with Shinko 700's.
My first hands-on exposure to Shinkos were when I put V011s on my SV like 5 years ago, and I've been impressed ever since. I just spooned on some 230s to my Shadow. Shinko is rocking it with seriously good tires and some very, very good prices. I feel like they're the Hyundai of tires - and I mean that only in the best of ways.
Anyway...
Yesterday I came home from work a little early - boss decided it was too nice to stay in the office - pulled the bicycle out, went for a spin, then slapped the eBay cast wheel and new 230 on the front to match the back one I did a few months ago. Now I'm riding on tubeless tires, and the 10+ year old rock hard DoFlops are finally gone. Yay, for grip and compliant ride!!!
The "new" eBay front wheel and new rubber band.
