Tubelessness of non-OEMExcelRim
The rust of OEM wheel of CB400SS (especially front wheel rim and spoke) was so bad that we installed OEM spoke on ExcelRim to refresh it. The OEM wheel is 19x2.15MT for FR and 18x3.0MT for RR, but the same size of ExcelRim for FR is only available in WM Type, so it was changed to 19x2.5MT.
I was told by WebikeSupport that they did not know about the compatibility with external Wheels, but after checking the ExcelRim and Size compatibility and assembling, there were no problems.
According to the Instruction Manual, the protruding ends of the spokes are removed with a file (only a few of them are noticeable), degreased, and OUTEX is installed.
Because the rim of the front wheel is narrow, OUTEXDouble-sided Tape stuck to the side of the groove, but because it is stretchable, there was no problem with adhesion of the Spoke nipple, and it did not get stuck when the tire was installed.
If you follow the Instruction Manual, there are no particular difficulties.
I put on the Tire by hand and raised the Bead with the Compressor, which is an on-board tool in the car.
After that, the double-sided tape was left at about 2.5 atmospheres for 30 minutes as per the Instruction Manual, and the pressure settled down to about 2 atmospheres.
I have driven about 500 km since the replacement, including Winding, and it is comfortable with no signs of air leakage.
In addition to the aluminum wheels, the front and rear springs are each more than 1 kg lighter than before, which has clearly improved acceleration and road-following performance (ride comfort), making driving more pleasant.
Although 10,000 yen may seem a bit steep for a mere double-sided tape, it is a reasonable price if you consider that you are buying peace of mind in terms of durability and workability.
Tubeless dari non-OEMExcelRim
Karat roda OEM CB400SS (terutama pelek dan ruji roda depan) sangat buruk sehingga kami memasang ruji OEM di ExcelRim untuk menyegarkannya. Velg OEM berukuran 19x2.15MT untuk FR dan 18x3.0MT untuk RR, tetapi ukuran ExcelRim yang sama untuk FR hanya tersedia dalam Tipe WM, sehingga diubah menjadi 19x2.5MT.
Saya diberitahu oleh WebikeSupport bahwa mereka tidak tahu tentang kompatibilitas dengan Roda eksternal, tetapi setelah memeriksa kompatibilitas dan perakitan ExcelRim dan Ukuran, tidak ada masalah.
Menurut Instruksi Manual, ujung jari-jari yang menonjol dihilangkan dengan file (hanya sedikit yang terlihat), dikurangi, dan OUTEX dipasang.
Karena pelek roda depan sempit, OUTEXDouble-sided Tape menempel di sisi lekukan, tetapi karena bisa diregangkan, tidak ada masalah dengan pelekatan pentil Spoke, dan tidak macet saat ban dipasang .
Jika Anda mengikuti Instruksi Manual, tidak ada kesulitan khusus.
Saya memasang Ban dengan tangan dan mengangkat Manik dengan Kompresor, yang merupakan alat terpasang di dalam mobil.
Setelah itu, selotip dua sisi dibiarkan sekitar 2,5 atmosfer selama 30 menit sesuai dengan Instruksi Manual, dan tekanan menjadi sekitar 2 atmosfer.
Saya telah mengendarainya sekitar 500 km sejak penggantian, termasuk Winding, dan nyaman tanpa ada tanda-tanda kebocoran udara.
Selain velg aluminium, pegas depan dan belakang masing-masing lebih ringan 1 kg dari sebelumnya, yang jelas meningkatkan akselerasi dan performa mengikuti jalan (kenyamanan berkendara), membuat berkendara lebih menyenangkan.
Meskipun 10.000 yen mungkin tampak agak mahal untuk selotip dua sisi, itu adalah harga yang masuk akal jika Anda mempertimbangkan bahwa Anda membeli ketenangan pikiran dalam hal daya tahan dan kemampuan kerja.
