rad006 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 So after selling my 3 wheelsets I got this beauty..... Im to scared to put it on the bike now
Gasping Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 These look awesome. What are they? Weight? Cost? Do you need someone to look after them? Maybe even adopt them or just foster care?
AndreZA Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 They would have looked nice on your Giant but the colour will clash with the SC.
rad006 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Mamps my dad still has the giant and is looking at them with scary eyes....I bought them for an orbea but I might just have to change the SC`s colours... In saying that my SC does have alot of blue on it thanks to KCNC and it doesnt look bad.... Weight 1540gPrice = RSP 11.5k (I didnt pay that)
rad006 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 What gets me is I havent seen a set at any MTB races over the past 2 yrs.... Has anyone???
Mudsimus Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 The price tag might explain the absence at races. You can get XTR wheels for much cheaper...and its a better wheel in my opinion.
rad006 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 XTR wheels are nice but, I Prefer cartridge bearings
Aurora Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 The spoke design scares people, looks like its not strong enough. In my opinion, nice to look at, but they not as light as race wheel should be. Plus they only come in blue
rad006 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Not true. They come now in silver and black with gold...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009  The price tag might explain the absence at races. You can get XTR wheels for much cheaper...and its a better wheel in my opinion. ... I detect a hint of jealousy  Really awesome bling radÂ
AndreZA Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 and orange nad green and red. Depends on discipline.   http://bikemag.com/news/freshproduce/Wheels1_web.jpgMampara2009-09-15 02:21:19
Aurora Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 my mistake sorry Rad. They are very pretty but not something you would find most people choosing, pretty much because of the price tag. Most will go for the SLR or ZTR because its tried and tested. A pro in states, Sid Tabrelay uses these though so they cant be to bad.
rad006 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 You dont have to apologise we all need free speech....At the end of the day its our own choices.... im negiotating for a set of SLR`s as we speak as my spare wheels or main I dunno.... All wheels have good and bad reviews its just a matter of choice
CAAD4 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Those Orange wheels look great on that lunatic's bike in the latest Bicycling Mag, where he is riding on the edge of the cliff in Italy.
