carbon fiber wheels

[ridered86]

are those carbon fiber wheels worth it. pro...cons? i hear they have a 1 year warranty, and they look bad *****

No wait, you can get them right away........The pro is, compared to aluminum, they have a one year warranty against breaking or bending..........Show me any aluminum wheel building will to make that offer...........cons, well, if you want an 8" rim, you have to buy their rim with the built in hub, and I cant use them because I run a durablue x-33 with non-splined hubs, and I am liking this axle to much to go back to a tapered axle, I plan on getting the carbon fibers 9x9 rears since ITP makes holeshots now to run on a 9" rim............oh yeah, the cost alot.:D

MXbubs- you will have to do a little triming on your hubs to get the wheel on there but it will work.
I like em, they have replaceable parts so you dont have to buy a whole new wheel. The rings can get chipped if you run in rocky areas with low tire pressure, I chipped mine not riding in rocky areas with 20 inch tires, they are supposed to send me new rings free but they havent yet. The rings can leak sometimes also, just my rears not my fronts. Very light wheels.

Actually, they are cheaper than alum. beadlocks! Hiper is on a huge backorder right now. They are in the process of setting up the equipment to make them in house. It will be a couple more weeks before they can start up production. We have a couple pairs left in stock.

Are you saying that if I take a grinder to the corners of my hubs and round them down some they will work? Let me know, I really want to run the 8" rim. Jeff, within a few weeks I am going to be ordering 4 rims and tires for bike, carbon fibers, with Itp holeshot tires. I want 4+1 on the fronts with HS MX 20" tall tires, with the 8" rims if they work, with HS MX's on the rear. Can you Pm me a price quote?

Yes you will need to trim some of the hub with the 9 inch wheel. I have no clue about the 8 inch wheel, I just have a x-33 axle and hiper 9 inch rears and this is what I had to do.

They do make the wheels in 8"! I don't have any right now and it looks like we won't be getting any for a few more weeks. I think I have 1 set of fronts in 4+1. Give me a call on tuesday.
