New Kineo wheels

[Schtum]

Are they sealed or are you running with tubes?
Who makes the hubs?

From what he said about needing to get the pressure sensors fitted, we might infer that the rims are sealed and running tubeless tyres.

I thinks you need some of these to finish ya bike of nicely.

Lovely looking rims, I wish I had not seen these now

too right! think its a winter project this year..HP4 blue for the rims or like you did, BST carbon wheels

Brilliant! Anyone know if they do a 17" front wheel in the same design as the stock cast wheel? Rode a TC GS years ago with a 180 rear and 17" front. I loooooooovvvved it!

I looked at various option including carbon ones.....the HPS website has a number of different choices. Prior to that I had considered using RT wheels and getting spacers etc machined for the front but it all seemed like too much hassle and when I am home I just like to ride the thing not fanny about getting bits made. So I just settled on these....

Yep, running tubeless. I presume that Kineo makes the hubs....they are beautifully machined.

Nice stuff, looks fab!

What about the ABS system when altering wheel and tyre sizes?
How does that get solved?

No probs with ABS or TC....apparently they reset themselves when you move off using the speed of both wheels .....so wheel size doesn't matter

.........I will never take this bike off road .............................

Are these rims not suitable for off road adventures? They look really good BUT I think they are going to be a horror to keep clean, more so than the BMW original spoke wheels.
