Has anyone had a wheel made up by Woody with the oversized SS nipples and spokes?

Woody's made up a black Excel 21" front and 18" rear for my 03 KLR. Used my stock hubs replaced
spokes with a heavier duty SS spoke and changed the spoke pattern to a stronger one, I believe
they called it a 3 cross or triple crossover pattern ?? it was awhile ago don't remember exactly. Great people
to deal with and I have had no issues with wheels, would use them again and would recomend them to
someone else to use.

I had it done thru a friends shop and had new tires tubes installed at the same time, so I don't remember
what the break down on cost was, as I recall it was about 400.00 per wheel ?? but that was 6 years ago.
Give them a call, they were very easy to deal with over the phone.

my humble opinion is that excel rims are fine as long as you go with a smaller profile (1.85 or even smaller). at the standard size (2.15) even excel will have its problems over time just like the OEM. At smaller sizes however you have better choices than excel.

DaneelOlivaw · 07-19-2012, 12:05 AM

yes

JohnTz · 07-19-2012, 04:47 AM

yes and they do a great job!

Sporting Wood · 07-19-2012, 04:53 AM

Why does everyone like Excels? Seems to me that the DID Dirtstars drilled in the same Euro index that'll simply lace up normally, without the need for new spokes nor the 'interesting' lace pattern necessary to get Japanese indexed rims to fit on a Euro patterned hub, would be the ticket.
