No More R100gs Wheels
BMW have stopped production of the Rear wheel for the R100gs !!!!!!!
Bmw tell us that the wheel can ONLY be Correctly built by them in the factory on their jig.
Bmw will not allow their dealers to rebuild the r100gs wheels or in fact any bmw spoke wheels.
If you have a problem with your wheels Bmw will only sell a complete replacement wheel built in the factory.
How do I know:
My rear wheel was breaking spokes at a rate of 1 a day, wheel rebuilt in Croatia thanks to the guys at the Split bmw riders club.
First stop was BMW Split, you can still buy the individual parts but NO complete rear wheels. They contacted the bmw riders club for me.
I am now in Austria with still the same problem. Used my last spare spoke to get here and now looking for a wheel builder who knows his stuff.
(and No I am NOT overloaded - just riding on the road as normal)
WE MUST ALL Spread this news and force BMW to supply wheels. !!!!!!!!
