lou777 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I have some Alexrims XD-Lite on my Merida. Think it looks cool. At first also thought it is a bit too porno.
Sharkie 2 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Depends on colour of your bike but it normally looks awesome!
Wernervdmerwe Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Werner..... just get some white cable ties for the "splash guard"....... Disclaimer:-REAL MTBikers do not have mudguards!!!!!!!! True... Unfortunately it uses o-rings, not cable ties to fasten. Anyone know where one can get white o-rings of that size?
AndreZA Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Do you know the pricing of the Novateck hubs .. roughly? Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe Cape cycle Systems can help you. They are the importers.
Eugene Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 On a mountain bike, they look great, on a road bike, they look k*k. The white rims will suit your frame colour.
Airborne Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Posted pic of bike on first page, think it should look ok. Thanks for all the advice
AndreZA Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 They would kinda look okay but there is nothing wrong with he bike as is. The only thing is the front brake housing that needs to be changed to run on the inside of the fork leg.
Napalm Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 You know what they say...... once you go black you never go back.
Wernervdmerwe Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Where you situated Airborne?My wheels won't fit in your bike (20mm front and 13mm rear) but you welcome to come have a look-see what it looks like if we 'hold' the wheels in your frame?
Mackie Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Werner..... just get some white cable ties for the "splash guard"....... Disclaimer:-REAL MTBikers do not have mudguards!!!!!!!!I'm with the road builder on this one....
HeartCoppi Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 On a serious note BLACK IS HOTTERits a scientific thing that black has been proven to be more thermodynamic than whiteBlack gets hotter quicker.As we have learnt from FOrmula 1: hot tyres are desirable. <rolls eyes.
HeartCoppi Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Sorry bout that I'vce re read:I see it wasn't a technical question, but an acceptability issue.   Yes, I think is deemed acceptable to have non-black rims
