Marvic wheels: do they take OEM size bearings???
thanks to MadMike, I got the latest issue of Sport Rider which has a pretty good comparo on aftermarket wheels. Lots o' choices, but it looks like Marvic magnesium comes out on top from my perspective (drags).
Q: I have ceramic bearings in my OEM wheels and I wonder if they'll swap right into the Marvics?
Q: Also it seems like Marvic might soon offer forged wheels(lighter?) rather than the present cast wheels????
Q: Puma vs Puma2 vs Piuma?????
Anybody have recent experience with these wheels?

Seb from NLR has a set for sale.. and yes you can get ceramic bearings for them. THe 12 axle size is 26mm vs the 28mm Busa size. Im almost positive all the ceramics are hand made...so you can get any size you want.
Heres the link to the items Seb has for sale. Those internally lowered forks look good.

TB,
I was wondering if the Marvic for the 12 took the same size bearings as the OEM wheel so I could switch my ceramics from my oEM wheels to a new set of Marvics. Seb's wheels look great (tires too!), but I assume they are set up for Busa.
