lomoto Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Just got my new wheels bolted on this evening, 19" Ruff with polished rims .. I wanted black centres after seeing Kevs on the Wales trip out but they werent available straight away so plumped for the graphite ones (could always spray them at a later date if I find I cant live with em ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 They are lovely, ..... How much does one of them weigh? Just wondering in comparison to a Rays, I keep thinking about changing mine..... but not putting anything heavier on. Anyone know how much the Rays weigh?

Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 18Kg without tyres IIRC very light wheels I have a feeling those RUFF are gonna weigh a bit, but Tim won't be too bothered, as they do look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 lightweight and not forged I agree they'll prob bend, but if they are proper quality they won't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 lightweight and not forged I agree they'll prob bend, but if they are proper quality they won't I know one or two people with very expensive forged wheels who would give you an arguement Val...

Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 ? uh? re-read my post: if a wheel is forged is as strong and light as it can be made, bar carbon fibre or kevlar ones. There are also lightweight cast wheels which won't be as strong as forged ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 any wheel will bend then! even fu*k off heavy ones, given the right circumnstances! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 any wheel will bend then! even fu*k off heavy ones, given the right circumnstances! too right , What I am saying though is the very lightweight ones are OK for track use, but on Englands potholed roads, speedbumps etc.. I think the wheels with a bit more metal in will stand it far better... dont you agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 well depends what you class as VERY lightweight the rays are amongst the lightest 18" wheels I have found. Ok they are butt ugly, but I haven't heard of any of them bending on a pothole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
