Airborne

Recommended Posts

I have some Alexrims XD-Lite on my Merida. Think it looks cool. At first also thought it is a bit too porno.

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? :D

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.

On a mountain bike, they look great, on a road bike, they look k*k.

 

The white rims will suit your frame colour.

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.

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?

On a serious note BLACK IS HOTTER

its a scientific thing that black has been proven to be more thermodynamic than white

Black gets hotter quicker.

As we have learnt from FOrmula 1: hot tyres are desirable.

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
