Nothing exists without pics.  Nothing except the words in this post and I'm not too sure they exist either....    Hmmmmm.....

[teddy037.2]

and if noone is here to read them, do these words cease to exist?

[DRKWNG]

Only if the bear ceases to shit in the woods...

We are installing the wheels either tomorrow (if it is slow) or more likely on Saturday.  Pics and  will come then.

Hope you love them.   watch out for the inside curb of the first turn...you're going to get there quicker than you're expecting.

ride report after the initial pics please.

Are they the old-style ones or the new Mamba wheels?  Those Mamba wheels are sweet, but the rear wheel is only available in the 6" flavor (though I think the old ones are, too?)

They are the five-spoke design, with a 5.75" rear wheel.

Hey now! Nothing wrong with a 6.0 rear!  And yes, they ARE sweet. Asl me how I know. But then most things that are CF are SWEET to me...

OP, carefully check the clearance on that rear. They had some issues with them clearing the caliper and make a spacer for them...

oh yeah...spacer or need to shave the caliper.   Don't want to mark up the spokes.  might be slightly different clearances depending on bike but just check three times before you spin the wheel.

Good info to have, thanks.  These supposedly are designed to fit the bike to fit perfectly, but we shall see tomorrow.

[Statler]

which bike are they going on?
