skarlando Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi, I am looking for a set of wire spoked rims for a 2003 V11 Sport, 2003 originally with 5.5" rear width rims. Could be used or not-too-expensive new ones. Live in Norway (Europe). Any offers, advice or information would be appreciated (have read the forums and checked the exorbitant oem prices). Best regards Øyvind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbolesaz Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I believe Alpina wheels has a version for V11. Tubeless to boot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 brlawson (RIP) had built these wheels a few years back. I am not sure what happened to them after he passed. Member doslemans has stayed in contact with Bruce's son in Alabama, USA. https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?app=gallery&image=1709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 My wallet hurts looking at those wheels. Seems Ghezzi-Brian has them (Kineo) , but I don't see any pricing. http://www.ghezzi-brian.com/en/cerchi-per-moto/kineo-spoke-wheels/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I have Alpinas on mine ......Expensive..... Worth every cent . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarlando Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 I got in touch with Mandello Cycles (Germany) by phone. They said their supplier from Spain, Akront (/ Morad) had quality problems with these rims so could not recommend them. The Alpinas look good, however are they still made? Seems not from their web page and some forums. If anyone knows of suppliers with any left, I would be happy to see contact details. The second hand rims from brlawson probably have a good home already.. :-) I checked Kineo / Ghezzi-Brian earlier. Available but very expensive (€2500 + shipping + customs/vat - more than half the value of my used bike, so this option is off the table for now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if you were expecting wire wheels for these bikes to be inexpensive because let’s just get that notion out of your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
