| Re: BST CARBON WHEELS Do a search and check the "similar threads" at the bottom of the page. I know they were discussed, and some by people here, a year or so ago. Might also want to check with CTSmoto, one of the sponsors who did a group by last year. I'm guessing there might be some improvements since the early days, but also remember that carbon fiber is a brittle material, and may not be well suited for some of the bashing they will take on public roads ... that bend and break aluminum wheels. |

 | Re: BST CARBON WHEELS Just remember when it fails Aluminum will probably bend while CF will probably shatter. Also it is MUCH harder to inspect CF for damage.

 | Re: BST CARBON WHEELS I believe that BST is making a street version and a track version also. |
