What do you guys think, wrong move? I could still have the origonals put back on.
Good move IMO.
The guys I know who run Bonty rims (X Lites in particular) have had issues with tight tires which makes for interesting side of the road tube changes. Not so with Mavic Ksyriums. Ksyriums are tough if not the lightest thing going. I run the older K SSCs on two bikes and have had very few problems.
