Winter Jobs started... New wheel :)


 So time has come for the old faitfull stainless steel Wheel to go. What I hope to gain with new wheel is more feel/feedback to the steering and weight saving is always a plus. Cool factor is also on the list for sure :)

Replacement just arrived from Exit Engineering in Italy. Wheels are high quality pre preg, autoclave wheel build in one piece with no secondary bonding except where absolute necessary. Clear coat of epoxy is perfect. Impressive craftmanship.


Wheel for Seanna has max. dia of 172. Weight for the new 3-spoke wheel is 3,55 Kg's as per CE-Certificate. I will verify that later. The build quality is superb. Not to mention the customer service during the buy process. Engineer from Exit called me couple of times just to make sure we get everything correct and a perfect fit.

I have yet to install the wheel. Hopefully fit will be good. It will be tight, but so it has to be as I wanted a wheel that fills the whole deck recess.
