Didn't know you were aware. I had the Alpina STS wheel set on my Guzzi NTX and had to replace 11 nipples in a month and a half. I had to add about 5 psi each morning before going to work. So I looked into Kineos for it. Was $3500 for a 4.5" x 17" and a 3" x 19". I only had the NTX for 2 more weeks.

Yes.. I have a good fried that does FEA and will be checking the pulley for me. As for my wheels.. they are tubeless. They are Alpina wheels. New they listed for 3500.... but are discontinued. I bought them new for $1000

Glad you didn't pay full price. See my above post.

I'd have offered to run it through Ansys for you if you didn't have anyone. Just glad you're not guessing it'll be ok.
