After 2 weeks of being lost at UPS, my wheels finally show up! Now it's decision time. Do I sell off the silvers as originally planned? Or keep 'em both? Thinking about using a second set of tires and want your take. I ride 70% commute (highway and city streets, very few curves), 25% twisties, and 5% would like to go find a little dirt every once in a while. The 5% is why I got a Husky instead of another street bike instead, and by "dirt" I really mean unpaved places where people might take their big ADV bikes, as I have 0 dirt bike riding experience. A second bike for dirt only is not a possibility, wife vetoed that idea a long time ago. I think it might be wasteful to burn through Distanzia's commuting, and I don't like my chances on PR3's in the dirt. So I was thinking a set of PR3 plus some Shinko 244's might make sense. But the money from selling the wheels can be repurposed for other farkles I might need. At what point does the cost/benefit of having two sets make sense? Or should I just go with the DS version of the Distanzia and forget about swapping wheels?
Why not sell the silver 17"s and get yourself a 21" and 17" TE wheel setup? That's what I'd do at least
The TE is 21/18 I believe. And from everything I read, the 21" front will not fit on an SM, there is not enough fork travel and the tires rub the fender, and I also read something about the brake calipers hitting the spokes. Maybe I'm wrong and I can swap out for TE wheels, but to go full TE brake and suspension mod seems too much for as little dirt as I plan on riding.
