cleaning is always a good time to inspect for damage...



took my old magnisium marvic wheels off the 748 and removed the tyres for a quick clean and polish and found all the rear spokes had sheared almost through !!!!!!!

cant clean enough now i say.........:lol:

Holy snapping duck shitt Batman...

That's bloody frightening

Race use only or road work as well?

Yep, dam and wow. How old where they?

about four years old .. just a bit of road use and 1 year on the track
ill have a look for a photo........

Hmm, and there I was firmly considering a set of Mags for road use. Maybe, maybe not.

Rgds, Rob

dont bother,
the new cast alloy whells are as light and dont have the problems that the mag wheels do

heres that pic

looks like something machined them,
what do you recon caused that ?
Its very symmetrical to be stress related

what do you mean by machined???

like something has been hitting the spokes as the wheel has been turning around
