Bike is almost here!
Well, I changed my order from a Templar X, to the M, since it came back in stock. Plus, I really wanted a kickstart backup (old school habits). It arrives, tomorrow! I did get the assembly, etc. Still, I am going to go through it, and check it all out; threadlock, adjust, tweak, etc. I'll post pics, asap. I definitely, will be taking out the rim locks, changing out the stock battery, and eventually, getting different tires, amongst other things.. I appreciate the advice, y'all have given me, and welcome more help.

Got a chance to GPS with the 14/49.. max speed on speedo was 77mph, downhill.. on level 70mph should be doable. GPS corrected is a loss of 5mph.. so max corrected at 72mph.. 65mph should be considered the max speed overall I'd say.

One thing i'll add with this setup compared to the 13/42 is that on the same road, previously on a paved incline section in 6th she'd decelerate so much up the hill that i'd need to downshift to 5th.. with the 14/49, although she decelerated considerable, it did hold its ground and i did not need to downshift.. also alot more seat of the pants twist on the dirt which is fun..
On another note.. has anyone hit a rev limit? i know i was over 8k and no limit

Pete,
Your idea of sealing up the rim with marine 5200 would probably work on the spoke holes in the rim, but the edges of the rim are made for clinchers. I really don't think a tubeless tire will seal on the bead. The other issue is that after you seal up the spoke holes, it would probably be impossible to do a proper spoke tune! By now you already know these things having the bike/wheels in your garage. The supermotard conversion with new wheels looks awesome on this bike though. This might fit your intended use! Quote:
