I am considering buying matte black BST Rapid Tek carbon wheels to my V4R so if you have a pair in near mint condition to a fair price please send me a message. Thanks.
I have a couple of sets of these, sorry but neither are currently for sale. Just a word of warning though, as I recently had a rear wheel failure, whilst touring in Portugal, so be sure to get the newer rear wheel with modified hub fixing. Old style, the ally hub became detached from the CF, meaning both parts could move independent of each other, made for an entertaining ride, the 2 parts are only bonded to each other. The later wheels have fixing bolts through the hub, as well as being bonded together. The wheel was less than a year old and was replaced by the supplier under warranty. If you want to pm me your phone number, I have a couple of video clips of the end result I can WhatsApp to you.
It's the only problem I've ever had with any bst wheels, I've been using them for many years on both road and track, to be fair it wasn't a CF problem, but more a design issue that has subsequently been addressed, belatedly, by the manufacturer. In my opinion there should have been a recall on the earlier wheels, as if that's likely to happen .
Wow. Pretty scary when you consider the possibility of a rear wheel hub failure. Glad you got it addressed.
Buy new. You then know their history from day dot. I did the same as you, looked for a pair of second hand minters (Unicorns) and save a few quid. Wish I’d saved myself time and effort and just bit the bullet from the get go…
