MZ/MuZ Riders

Had to remove the front after picking up a flat (time to replace both tyres anyway)
Surprised how a quick wash reveals how well they have aged considering the only maintenance they receive is the very occasional wash and spraying with ` maintenance spray` (WD40 type stuff) since new. Stainless steel spokes certainly help!

These are BEHR rims and they polish up ok without a lot of effort. I think the earlier bikes had plated and sometimes problematic spokes -

i try and keep my wheels polished and dont use the bike in the winter or i salt... i did do the spokes with stainless steel theres a thread somewhere showing how i did it.. took me a few weeks to do the wheel, i had the other one done ages ago, and i thingk they look really nice...

Hi.
So yours didn`t come with stainless spokes as standard then, mine is a 2004, what year is yours?
This is the first time i`ve polished them and it get used throughout the year.
Cheers.

Akronts are marked as such:

Happy Hogmanay!

And BEHR ones are marked BEHR!

Happy new year all.

mine were marked behr... the markings not very visible now... mine is a 2003 supermoto rims.

That`s too much polishing!

yeah, sorry bit late to the reply, mine are behr rims and originally came with chrome plated spokes, they did gradually deteriate, and rust, and ihave replaced them with stainless steel items..

Hi.

No worries. 2004 must have been the year that they started fitting stainless spokes then.

Cheers.

It seems like a good set of wheels to consider. I'm currently looking for replacement wheels and tires Online. There are a nice selection of touring tires that I really like.
