Ladies,
I am very aware of the BST marketing claims and am more than aware of how awesomely gorgeous CF wheels are.
However, I’m also aware how expensive they are, and am running out of kids to sell.
I can imagine the benefits of this amount of reduced unsprung weight, and reduced gyroscopic forces, rising pro rata with speed. Meaning that I can easily imagine CF wheels making a big difference to a top rider on a well fettled R1 with already good lap times on a fast and smooth track.
But... what difference do they make on a slow bike like a 961 (sorry if that offends, just being realistic) ridden by a (comparatively) slow rider on the road?
Does anyone have any actual experience they could share on this?
