As for how do they hold up in a crash, if its bad enough it won't matter what they are made of, I have seen many many many Alloy etc wheels that are f#cked after an off, the dilemma is when you have an off on track how do you know if they are cracked right? Well rule of thumb is if the leak air then you have a problem! Me I am not fussed about them on the road or whatever, I trust them as much as any other wheel, but then I care about my bike and check it over from time to time, plus I fit my own tyres
more concerned with those small 50mph or long 100mph slides raher thean end on end...like you say the lot if fecked then! lol right I'm off to check racing regs to see if carbon are permitted with Hottrax and NL
Yes Rr only !! As when I bought Duc, swapped tyres, rear was cracked !! So only purchased rear at the time !-(
Don't know about hottrax, but a few run carbons up in Scotland, I think it's just likes of bsb, regs support series u can't run them !!
Interestingly you don't see carbon wheels on road race bikes, I mentioned them to a pal who spanners for a team at the TT ( for the past 8 years) he laughed and said dont waste your money on carbon wheels They do look bloody good though
I agree with your man, but a good rider would go faster, and a better rider faster still, or so they say.. haha, I can tell you that they make the bike feel all new and improved
Cheers for the pics, I like the Gold Dynamags to be honest, but the grade C carbons sound like the ones to go for. Search set up ! Let's hope they re-appear though sounds like they'll be a queue for them.
I posted this in the wrong sodding thread....soz! Repeated below; I have just done a deal for a set of forged Marchisini wheels for my bike. I believe the're a bit rare as the small hub bikes were never fitted with them and only available as a DP item...ompus: Might repaint them...Hmmmmm Gold....No, no RED!
