Looks like a MTS1000 wheel......the mags usually have 8 holes for locating on the rear hub. The MTS wheel lost the ribs. Mags usually have a small web at the base of the spokes as well where they run into the centre.
Hmmm actually you're right Nelly, mine had 8 holes plus the spokes look slightly angular it's the only way I can describe them the mags were a lot squarer a design
Sorry to be silly but am I the only one who were thinking about the end of the fast straight when I read 'breaking very late. . . ' ?? Jim
I had BSTs on my 1098 and experience as follows: Bike feels quicker On hard braking I always got a chatter from the front. Never fiddled with the suspension I imagine it was curable (perhaps less rebound damping or compression). I finally sold them. Lighter and more agile although compared to the 916 I had already the stock bike is lighter. Cost in 2009 was EUR2500 as a special price from local dealer. I think they still go for that much. Just a thought (if the carbon wheels price is high which it is). Why not change your flywheel to sth lighter? It gives plenty of 'acceleration', it costs maybe 10-15% of a pair of BSTs value but OK you dont get the overall weight reduction you get from a pair of BSTs (I think around 5-6Kgs to stock rims). However on a 916 weighing ..190Kg+ dry even with carbon wheels you still have a heavy bike for the track. P,
Dymag have a great offer on at the moment but I seem to recall that you can't use standard sprockets. Does anyone know if the BSTs are the same?
Bought this bad boy (ebay bargain) need a front now, or powder coat.... Should have weighed them both prior to fitting.. Anyone know the actual weight difference between the 3 and 5 spokers?
