I think its overpriced. I offered him £50 but he said £80.

I found another light one for £45, just gota keep searching.

You think that's overpriced....Try this one for size

Kin hell its an early model also. Whenone really needs a wheel £80 isn't bad but just sitting around as a spare, needs a bit of thought. I'll ask him the question if the bike is included.

Rear wheel later type with bearings and cush drive no sprocket or disc is 6.35kg

Early type in the same condition is 7.10 kg

Don't have a later front to weigh.

weight,

I have the early wheels on my bike, I think that it is the best handling bike I've ever had, It's certainly the most fun I've ever had on a bike. I've had to completely re-think my philosophy about bikes, I've always wanted the newest fastest bikes out there, not any more!

Lighter wheels:

Do they make a difference?

Do you think it makes a difference to lap times?

How about race position?

They say the biggest improvement you can make to your bike is the rider.........

I want to say “ride what you've got, and like it” but I too keep spending money, but I'm trying to stop.

Defo the rider Matt. Mr Traynor and Harriet had/have the earlier wheels as does Cleggy they all go well. I think the difference would be 3/5ths of F*** all.

Just to add to this: Tyre and one disc on brings it up to 10.8kg

Early rear with tyre sprocket and disc is 15kg less the tyre is 9.45kg

This is getting very anorak....y
