Are they worth it??
Rough price guide?
They're wider than cyclones arent they, so take it they fill the arch nicer? And I guess they hold there money?

They're not all that light, though lighter than some other alloys which don't allow as much brake clearance. Once of the main reasons for upgrading to them (aside from looks) is to allow you to fit bigger brakes without needing to run spacers. They hold their value pretty well if you can keep them in good condition.

Yeah there not that light considering there known as a light weight alloy. I've just put some on mine and weighed them along with the ouragons I took off. Including tyres they both weighed 19kg! different tyres but still, according to the 'wheel weight' thread the 1.2 is supposed to be 5kg lighter than the ouragon.. I think not!

So they could be worth the buy then? Thinking of buying a set with tyres, and selling my cyclones to help cover the cost a little. But if i keep them in good nick they'd hold they're value if i sold them on in the future hopefully...

There worth a buy yeah they are nice wheels. Wouldn't recommend them to someone looking for a light weight wheel though.

Ben mate I think your scales are broken. Theyre noticeably lighter than other wheels.

Just because they arw wider does not mean they will sit in the arch better. Thats down to the ET of the wheel
