Carrozzeria wheels?

[junior varsity]

axle size.  however i could pay for new guts for it.  I did buy the marvic front just putting off the rear for now

hooray

With Carrozzeria - what happens if you bend a front on a pothole on the street? Gotta buy a new set? That's not cool.

Um, you can just call up carrozzeria and buy a single wheel....

I think they only sell sets to the public.  maybe a dealer can get you singles?  not sure.  I got the impression they only sell singles when its for a returning customer as replacement.  i tried to buy a single front 998 wheel since they had the sets on clearence and they said they couldn't split them, maybe it was due to the clearence status, not sure. so does anyone know if you can just buy the guts for marvics, like if i wanted to switch a set of wheels to another bike?  I think you can with marchesini.

I did just a BST front on my M900

I might be selling the BST wheels off of my 98 900SS FE project bike.
Contact matt@motowheels.com if you are interested.

I want to put OZ wheels on it.

Yesterday i was at a bike show
And there was a 696 with spoke wheels







The rims are DID and the innerthings (how do you call those things in englisch) are cnc Aluminium
The wheels are tubeless and could be used with the normal brake callipers

It was a prototype , guy thought they would cost about 2000€

I would guess these spoke wheels are a hell of alot heiver than the stock 3 spokes.  I read an article about the guys racing paul smarts at daytona and how the bikes were pigs with the stock spoked wheels so they put mag's or carrozzeria's on them.  I just put marchesini's on my supermotard and the weight difference is huge compaired to the excels that were on it.  plus now the tard is tubeless

We swapped the spoked wheels/tubes/steel sprocket on our Sport classic for BST wheels/tubeless tires/alum sprocket.
We saved nearly 30 lbs. It was a huge difference in handling, braking, turn-in and ride quality. The lighter wheels eliminated the head shake too.


We now have OZ wheels on it

I was so close to pulling the trigger on the OZ or Carrozzeria when I started the rebuild. wish i had.

but those wirewheels on the 696.. 

[atomic410]

holy sh*t 30lbs in rotational weight is insane

[xplodee]

One of the reasons why I got rid of my sport classic is because the handling is just garbage. It all originates from the absurdly heavy wheels with even more absurdly heavy tubes inside them. Next is the crappy non adjustable forks.

At the end of the day you have to make so many changes to a sport classic to make it a nice ride that its hardly worth it, and barely looks like a retro bike anymore anyway. IMO.

The frontwheel was 4 kg and they were tubeless
They are supermoto wheels so i don't think they are bad

[junior varsity]

I think I've seen other tubeless spokers out there for sale too - with lightweight hubs & rims

thats about what a stock 3 spoke front wheel is.  my excel supermoto wheels with the excel hubs were suprisingly lighter than what i thought they would be, the excel rim i have laced to a stock yamaha yz450f hub was quite abit heavier.  obvously alot of weight is the hub. the marchesini i put on it is tubeless and assembled weighs about 6lbs less, no tube. I'm tired of tubes wearing out.
