    Ha ha - Shoreditch hipster! (I've worn my jeans like that forever by the way!) I agree it does look more contemporary and it is SO bad ass and looks fantastic. This is why it's a hard decision to make.

    Still undecided so will post some questions later to see if I can get a bit closer to a decision.

    Just quick one. Am I replying to your replies more than once? It seems like my replies aren't visible when I scroll through and I could be replying again. :confused:

    True. Spoked wheels with tube type tires can rapidly deflate if punctured causing an accident. Tubeless tires if punctured typically will slowly leak. Basically considered safer. I like the look of spoked wheels on the T100 and T120, but I personally would not own one. One big reason I purchased the Street Twin. But just my opinion.

    Punctures are pretty uncommon. As a low probability event it would not sway my decision either way. Proof of the pudding? I ride a T100. But I run Slime in the tubes........

    Me to, hope you're enjoying your Street Twin, and the Triumph forum. The weather here in Leicester, Britain is wet and windy so riding is not an option. Roll on summer. Best wishes from Tony.

    Yes, I was thinking of doing that. Going to post some questions to the forum to get a bit more input too ;)
