Title: ACS Z Mags
Post by: RichG41 on March 03, 2012, 05:06 PM
Hi

Just wondered if anyone had much info on Z mags? I recently bought a set off ebay, I presumed they were old school as I didn't know ACS still produce them  :-[ Not fussed as they were really cheap and they are for a rider I'm putting together for my daughter and on the face of things they look very similar to the originals, does anyone know what the differences are?

Thanks

Rich

i have to say Rich - I wasn't aware they had re-produced them. But they have:

Be interesting to see if there are any differences, because from here, they look identical  :-\

Same here, someone was selling a nice pair of white z rims and a pair of black Z mags, so I (wrongly) presumed they were old school. I didn't pay much so it's not the price it's just I want to know what difference there is. We all  know  about Skyways but I guess with the ACS mag being a lot less popular (and from what I've read not as good) I'm a bit in the dark as to what to look for ......

If anyone has information or detailed photos of a set of originals I'll post photos of my ones to see if there are any differences (that is if mine are re-pops!)

Thanks

Rich

I'm pretty sure they're identical to the older ones.  I was gonna get a pair of new ones as there's a shop in Canada sold them for around $70 a pair, but they've since run out

Had a set in the past, and very underrated IMO.  Haro used em early nineties  :daumenhoch:

How do they compare to Skyways in terms of weight and strength?  They do look pretty nice..

i'm suprised ACS don't still make z-rims, considering they were and are still much more desirable?  :crazy2:
