    Looking at PVM or MFR aluminium.

    Has anybody got either or like to comment on the above if they have heard good/bad.

    Thanks

    Ps I like the look of BST but would rather go for one of the above.

    Dymag UP7X look like a nice wheel and are 13.06 kg with disc and sprocket
    PVM 6 spoke 13.16 as above but with lightweight discs
    Although find it hard to believe BST weigh more than PVM and UP7X but the chart cannot lie ?
    info from Dymag

    I would vote for the dymag up7x. Stunning wheels and made her in uk.

    Cheers for that chart jamie as I have been searching everywhere for a comparison of the new breed of lightweight wheels but couldnt find anything

    +1 for the Dymag my friend uses the carbon fibre ones for racing. They take them back when broken and keep the hub and recycle to make cheaper for repairs/replacements

    What do they come with, sprocket and everything else to mount (using existing discs) for that price?

    Think it was Fez that commented on the offset holes in the spoke in a previous post, looks odd but I'm sure there's a reason...maybe.

    As far as I know you just have to fit your discs :)

    Drilled to save weight, they look cool and for me for a small price on top they will paint them Orange !

    Yes they come with everything you need to fit exept discs. I did comment on the fact the weight saving holes are not centralised but over all I still think they are a cracking wheel.

    P.S stuff orange they look the dogs in white haha

    Dymag website states they are allowed on roads:

    Q: Are Dymag Carbon Fibre wheels safe to use on the road?
    A: YES! All our wheels are tested to international wheel standards JWL, DOTand BS AU 50 for both race and road
