Title: redstone mag wheels
Post by: stevepeanut on January 02, 2013, 06:22 PM
Can anyone tell me about redstone mag wheels? I bought an old burner as it had some bits I want to use for other bikes, turns out it has redstone mags, I had seen a pic before I bought the bike and didnt think twice about them. I dont know anything about them, someone has told me they are super rare. Were they any good in their day? They are proper scruffy, but its all surface muck, and I think they look quite cool, the alloy hubs are proper shiney.

Heres a couple of pics

Have you ridden these yet ? Just wondered if they were strong or a wobbler

I think that they were standard on my Falcon Pro Sigma - I swapped mine for some wire wheels asap as I planned to go racing :daumenhoch:

I haven't ridden them yet, they don't look as flimsy some mags, fingers crossed they are ok
