singletrackmind Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I just saw an ad about these wheels. check it out www.crankbrothers.com The rim is blue and the spokes are 2 coloured!Looks great but the spoke configuration looks wierd.Your thoughts?Im keen to buy a pair but not sure about pricings and how they will work. I hate being a test dummy
101SCC Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 wicked looking wheels, concept seems solid...stiff, light, should be responsive. Where's the Lefty Front WheelPricing said $1000! Not bad just like a Mavic SLR.
Dragson Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 weight front/rear 688g / 852g really not bad at all
Troi Sport Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 The first batch of component parts arrived last week in Laguna Beach (Crank Brothers HQ)Building starts this week and the first batch of orders should be sent out next week. No Lefty version is planned just yet
Azonic Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Only prob is that wheelset might make the rest of my bike look old.
Racer X Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 They look very similar to the old XTR M960's. I'll wait till the second generation comes out. I'd rather CBs iron out the kinks in their products.
Tjokkits Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 The blue looks greats but then I figured on my red Ells?, shocking blue etc its gonna be a bit heavy on the eye, so we will have to go to cycle art and make the Ells white or silver (black?) to go with the wheels, and I just think I'm going to be in trouble if I do something like that - dammit!
Racer X Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 A lefty is a single sided suspension fork made by cannondale
Scalpel Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 A lefty is a single sided suspension fork made by cannondale The fork in the picture is not a Lefty!! It is on the right hand side of the bike! It is a prototype built by Cannondale and it will probably be called a "Righty"!!
Racer X Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 K, you win. Okay imagine that fork on the left hand side of the bike. Hey presto, Lefty.
Troi Sport Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I think they do a red version the red model will be for Downhill the orange model for all mountainand the green for freeridethe blue is for XC or marathon
