Dimitris Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi! Just wondering, OK, the radial wheels have the advantage of less weight. What other advantages are there? Or it is a matter of "look" only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 define what you see as radial wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitris Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I mean the wheels like those on the new Griso 1200 8V SE, or the wheels as those that Rossopuro sells (ALPINA Spoke Wheels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 The Rosso's make your rear pocket $2500.00 USD lighter... But they look GOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewscura Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I believe Paul mentioned in another post that the Alpina's are actually a little heavier. But I agree, they are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitris Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yes, they may be beautiful, but I mentioned Rossopuros as an example. I am just wondering if there are some other advantages..except from maybe weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Usually stronger and compnet replaceable ie if you break something you don't have to replace the whole wheel. Both pretty irrelevant for road riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
