Guest drknow Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Changed tires Sunday, and WOW, those are heavy wheels. Anyone know how much lighter the various aftermarket offerings are? I'd guess you could lose 15 POUNDS of rotating unsprung mass there. dk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Minnaert Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 stock, rear is 18 kg, that is as you take the wheel of the bike, so complete with brakedisk. This was a 5.5inch wheel. Advertized weighs from aftermarket wheels are of no use, The weigh without all the stuff you need in the center. And my PVM has a cush drive build in that weighs too.

What is the price for a set of PVM wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I have the OZ wheels from Ghezzi&Brian and it makes a hell of a difference! Worth every $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 what you really notice is the front wheel. A lot. I have a longer swingarm, so my rear suspension is actualy working:-) But I didn't notice the rear wheel difference. PVM wheels are expensive, depending also on where on the world you are. In euros I tink 2200. With shopping around you can save, but the cush drive makes it more expensive, than advertized prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 In euros I tink 2200. There is some offer at PVM right now. All wheels, 1450,- Euro per set. OZ by Ghezzi-Brian will be 1700,- Euro per set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossopuro says that the Alpina tubeless spoke will be available for us soon. Waiting for prices and availability now. http://rmcube.abd.it/RMcube/servlet/contro...codelanguage=IT edit: here's a US supplier of PVM with specs. Of course the MG wheels are usually the most expensive. http://www.ema-usa.com/wheels/wheels_PVM.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Antonio - where did you see the PVM offer? Take a look at this item on eBay...8069313609 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 No, OZ doesn't have a cush drive. I see cheapest pvm is 2199$ for guzzi who dares to drive with magnesium, can also have Marvic, they make the piuma range now for the v11 and mgs01. Guareschi has them, and they have a cush drive. I guess the v11 and mgs01 wheels are identical, so you will need the mgs01 cush drive parts with it. V11 front € 690,00 rear € 1270,00 www.marvic.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I'm still waiting for a price quote on those spoke wheels from Rossopuro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauchemin Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 While I'm dreaming of wheels, does anyone make a longer swingarm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svjj Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Jap I got an email from rossopuro about the price of the spoke wheels. I belive it was 1700 euro. They said that the price was not set in stone just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
