Hi, HUB, Best wishes for 2010. A company in SA called BST (BlackStone Technologies, I think) make Carbon Fibre wheels which some of the Moto GP teams use. They are apparently 4 times stronger than the standard wheel and are a fraction of the weight. Only problem is the price, which is R29000.00 SA Rand, and that to the USD is 7.50, so it will cost about 3867.00 USD per set, ex freight etc. They are apparently the best single mod you can make to a bike to get all round improvement, eg acceleration, top speed, cornering, braking etc. I wouldnt mind a set, but out of my price range. Cheers.
