First 26″ Wire Wheel By Sinister.

Published by Cyril Huze October 26th, 2011 in Builders, Customs, Editorial and Wheels.

The 26″ diameter front wheel is the new bad boy of the custom motorcycle industry. Seen on baggers and other radical contraptions, very few different designs were available, and nowhere could you find a 26″ wire wheel, until today… Sinister is launching the first and only 26″ Big Fat Daddy Wire Wheel, available in stainless steel, stainless with white spokes or white rims with stainless spokes. For all those who think that taller is better. Sinister Wheels.

    I wonder how much if any deflection occurs between the spool & rim with these and future large spoke tyres

    First, no, not really, I can’t remember the company name but I saw someone offering the same in 26″ over 2 years ago.

    The Sinister guy is a little bit of a bragger. Yes, HD Wheels had a 26″ spole before him. Second, I observe that Sinister is also imitating the HD Wheels rim/spoke color combination. Hmmm…

    Looks exactly like the same wheel that is being made by Stylin Products and it has been around for a couple of years, looks like a job for the copy cat cops…..

    My question is, what is a copy cat or ripoff design? DNA, Ride Wright, AWW and others have done fat straight spokes even longer, it is just a AAW smooth rim blank with the centers cut out and spokes added, you can buy them in just about any size you fancy, all parts needed to make them yourself are available off the shelf. Lacing a wheel and sending parts out for powdercoat or chroming isn’t that hard.

    The industry seems full of people claiming to be the first, or their product was copied by someone else, some are true, but most aren’t, besides, the Aftermarket and custom V twin industry is built on ripping off and the improving upon other companies designs. Harley Davidson itself.

    I dont know why people bother saying they are the first either ,they generally just happen to be the first to brag about it .But the world is too small to be the first or the best ,someone is always ahead of the next guy who thinks hes ahead of the next guy who thinks hes ahead of everyone . And to simplify it ,its really just a big spoke wheel .I can be the first guy with a 37 inch spoke wheel in 2 days with a CNC machine and some custom spokes …….but who cares,i would just be the first to make something totally stupid and unuseable .23/26 inch wheels are pretty comon nowadays anyway .,its not magic
