i would have tought these would sell much cheaper than my wheels but if they sell for more than 150 quid (assuming they have good tires) i'd save my money and get Team Dynamics

there fantastic quality and very light weight (i can imagine TSWs weighing about as much as a victorian bridge)

Hi Adam, thanks for the advice on the TDs. Problem is I wanna be different :blush:

I got this from the seller:

The inside diameter at rear of wheel, inline with the rear of the hub is 365mm and the inner rim of wheel is approx 125mm from inner face of hub!

Not sure what it means tho. LOL.

Naughty but I like your style

Here's a silly question. I've got a TF 160 so AP fronts. Apart from the handbrake what's the limitation on putting a set of APs on the rear too - that's ignoring the fact that a cheaper option is on the way David

They would be too rearward on the brake bias 50/50. What you're aiming for is 60F/40R.
But it's the handbrake problem too.

Any idea what size spacers would be required? Sorry to bang on about them like this, but I reckon I can get them for about a £100 and then get them customized to the way I want them. I managed to get a set of never used Ap calipers and pads for £130 (before Dave posted about the new sets) which I think is a good deal as those I've seen on ebay start at around £250. So that leaves the discs, SS brake cables? and tyres after sorting the rims.

Now if I could just get in touch with Russell :dry:

Would need to measure the wheels accurately but I would think at least 18mm

18mm sounds a lot to me!
