And I'll stay with my Trigo's since, well, er, I have NO CHOICE.
That's because you don't want to see a difference. And I'm taking credit for saving you five big ones by debunking the "lighter mags will make such a change" crock-o-shi*.

Just another case of East Coast bias, just like ESPN.

I've picked up both types of wheels before and there is a weight difference. Maybe you and Chas both "threw back" a few extra oysters at the oyster bar that day. There's no chance I would believe the stats provided by you guys in whatever unscientific methods you used.

BTW, if Fran or Halibrand someday make a batch of mags and if somehow I can figure out the correct backspacing measurements so that they fit my Kirkham, then I'm still a buyer of mag wheels. They look cool and are lighter than aluminum.

Just pull of those phonies you have on and measure the back space! Of course, that would require OPENING the garage door...
Or ask David.
Or send them to David if you ever get a set -PUN INTENDED!
Erister Bar ehhhh??

Look. I opened the garage door just yesterday. So there! Why all the fussing over my driving habits.

Now, of course, I only gave grass, plants and trees some extra watering time by turning the sprinkler system program on. But hey, that counts doesn't it.
