XT600E - spokes
 

Hi all

I'm after a bit of advice...myself and a friend are off to South America in June. We'll be riding on roads for 99% of the time, we're not planning on doing any off-roading.

Is it worth fitting heavy-duty spokes to the XT600s or will the standard wheels be OK? Does anyone know how much fitting heavy-duty spokes will cost??

thanks!

Matt

Hi. Try Alf Hagon in London (Essex) 0208 502 6222.

Your spokes will be fine!!your bike has got the standerd steel rims and there built to take lots of abuse...just take a spoke key with you to tighten any that may become loose.

top tip: lockwire youre spokes together where they cross. itll make em a bit stronger.

Hi,
If you decide to stick with standard spokes, you should take a couple of spares for front and back, you could get yourself a bargain off ebay if the length is right for your bike
