The 12oClock labs one is like $70. I had to put one on my bike, it was reading 90+ at 60mph after the wheel swap.

I started with 14/42, bit low. 4,5, and 6 sixth gear all sounded the same on straight road acceleration, but great for mountain passes. Changed to 15/42 yesterday and feels a bunch better for relaxed straight line cruising, not so buzzy, still pulls well on the hills and the gearing feels more usable. It all depends on your terrain and intended use. If you plan on freeway cruising at high speeds, the standard 39 rear with a 14 or 15 would be better.
My bike is 300 EFI which also makes a difference.

I have no wheel swap, just curious as to see the price of some of those correctors. 30mph difference, must've been rough the first few days haha

Willing to trade my 09 SF wheels for S wheels. Also interested if anyone is just selling the S wheels.

I have a second set of wheels I bought to run on my 2007 250s that I have been considering selling. I had a set of wheels set up for strictly off roading and a set mounted with older tires I used for commuting etc. Where are you located?
