Magnesium wheel versus standard Well..got the tyre fitted to the marchesini magnesium rear wheel today....talon are going to knock up a gold sprocket for it as the carrier is a five bolt fixing (apparently its a corsa fixing). Couldnt believe the weight difference !!!:o The standard 888 wheels must be the worlds heaviest coz with the tyre on it takes 2 hands to lift (and its still a struggle!)..I can lift the new wheel/tyre combo quite easily with one hand ! So come on..let have some weight saving guesses for the new rear wheel setup..:D Weight of the standard wheel/tyre/disc is 13.4kg...closest gets to pat themselves on the back !! Cheers Nat: |
On the corse bikes didn`t they have a larger wheel spindle on the rear wheel. |
Early ones did apparently..but this is one of the last made apparently and as such, has the std spindle..?? Oh.and wheres your guess my laddo ?? :lol: Nat |
7.5kg :bouncy: |
Are they 5spoke or 3spoke? |
4.5 kg |
5's sparkin.. |
"...std 888 wheel.. takes 2 hands to lift (and its still a struggle!)......." I'm surprised you can pull the clutch in then! Too much looking at glossy pictures, maybe?:o I almost beat you to Celeste's wheels, but the aggro of getting two carriers made up so I can change gearing at the track quickly was too much for me - I'll just have to carry on with the cast lead ones......... Weight of new setup depends how much rubber is left ! Cheers, Paul |
I'll have a stab at 9.4Kg |
8.1kg? |
