Front Rim Width
Hi - I recently bought a brand new DID front rim for my bike.
Unfortunately I bought a 1.6" instead of the 1.8" gold one fitted as stock to the NX650. What will be the effect if I use the narrower rim? Is it weaker? These wheels will have knobblies only, and will be used for travel and dirt riding (so precise tread profile not as important)... Thanks!

Hi I think that a thiner rim is stronger, the reason for this is I met a guy on a 950 who's front rim had so many cracks on it he had to get a new one, he went for a thiner one. it should also track better in theroy. Hopefuly someone will either confirm this or correct me.
