I might get them on my bike

I bet they're not American Classics :p

Pretty amazing for that wheel to hold up on landing, especially considering it was stuck sideways

....never mind how good the rims are, I thought it was a prime example of how bad suspension forks are! :p

I'm surprized the tyres lasted so long! Thought they would've ruptured and ripped off the rims immediatey on impact! :eek:

The rims were magnesium, hence the pretty sparks. The rims were ground down to the axles.

I'd love to know what they were, and what the "forks" were made of, too
