BST have just released info on their new Rapid Tek wheels. Similar in design to the 1299SL monstrously expensive and elusive carbon rims, these too feature a split 5 spoke design. No word on price yet but they do look to be a break from the norm, in terms of their normal offerings. http://blackstonetek.com/bst-best-c...n-fiber-wheels-rapid-tek-the-beautiful-wheel/
Hang on. So you're saying these wheels are 'butt ugly'?? I can assure you you're completely wrong. I've got a set of these on my bike and they look frightfully groovy let me tell you. Bet you think Ferrari's look shite too....
I went for dymag.. didn't like the squareness of the old bsts. This bloke thinks the dymags are good too..who ever he is I hear he's just about to start racing a 1299 in OZ land again
Yes he loves them, this is not in any way an advert that he was paid big bucks for.....Just sayin (PS, "who ever he is ?? Yet you say he is about to start racing ? Make ya mind up, you know him or not ?? )
Who is it? And he needs to learn to get the old knee down before he thinks about racing. Look at those sliders.... Oh dear. Still prefer the look of the BST's btw.
I broke a BST carbon wheel, so had a look at the Dymags The Dymag wheels are miles better built in my opinion, but not sure I'd trust a carbon wheel again anyway
You'll be fine. As long as you don't go smacking them up kerbs. Wheels bust all the time. Give any wheel a good whack and it'll bust. BST's are no different. There's just a big song and dance when it's a sexy wheel.
Mine (2016 BST rear) cracked all around the rim I checked the dymag wheels after, and they’re way better built around the same area, and markedly thicker The problem with all carbo wheels, and structural carbon parts in general, is you can’t always see the damage, and when it fails, it generally fails massively I couldn’t go back to a carbon wheel since, and an OZ piega R is almost as light, and not carbon
