Look what the UPS truck dropped off today !!
I have never had any aftermarket wheels before on any of my bikes but I bet after I run these I will be hooked for life.
Untill you have put these wheels in your hands you have no idea how light and top quality these wheels are. These also have the ceramic bearing. THEY ARE SICK !
As some of you guys know, I have worked at bike shops for about 9 years now. So if any of you guys need anything just let me know. I will try to take care of you guys.
I will keep you all posted after I get the wheels installed. Can't wait to get to the dragstrip !

Yeah, I ordered them from Brocks with the bearings already installed. When you order the wheels from Brocks you get a choice of standard bearing or ceramic. They are made by Worldwide bearings.

Are you going to just run the rear? I heard having a light weight wheel in the front might tend to want to wheelie easier hurting ET's, not sure how much of a effect it really has though.

Yeah you might want to send that front my way.
I'd be afraid to have those on my bike. After riding I'd be checking them for dings with a magnifying glass!

I'm gonna run both wheels. I'll let you know if it is any harder to launch at the track

Actually the BST carbon-fiber wheels are considerably more durable then a conventional alloy or magnesium wheel. You could drop it without a tire onto a concrete floor without sustaining damage. Do that with a alloy wheel and im sure there will be damage, if not a possibility of a bent the lip of the wheel. The BST wheels have some "give" to them so shock is distributed evenly through the weaved carbon fiber, they do not ding or bend at all.

These wheels are the next best concept to hit the sportbike market since LED's!!!! Just wish I could justify the heavy price tag for street use

I live 30 minutes from Deals Gap so we ride up there about once a week. To bad they have closed Deals Gap for a couple months due to a rock slide.
We have a bunch of other great mountain roads here so I will be riding them soon enough.
