Hi All,
Has anyone used 144 spoke wheels with any of the various engine kits? If so, was the installation any harder? Where there any mods that you had to incorporate? Hows the bike overall ride? all comments are welcome...

I have one bike with the 144 spoke wheel. It was a devil getting the bolts in the sprocket to go past the spokes. The space between the spokes are much smaller. I would say it is MUCH harder to install the sprocket on these type wheels. Up side: They look WAY cool!!!
