Title: ACS RL Edge wheels
Post by: ED209 on October 17, 2014, 12:08 PM

Just brought a set ... with RL Edge tyres as well ... just cleaning them up now ... thought I'd have to rebuild them but having got all the crud off they are lovely.

Anyone know much abut them? I've seem pics with a freecoaster in but it doesn't look like the one I've got.... but my ones have a Suntour coaster ... which says ACS freecoaster inside? pics to follow  :daumenhoch:

I think that they came out around 86 Marty yes ... but they were still in US mag adverts in early 93 ... so I'm happy they are going on my WAL  :slayer:

Thought I'd have to do a full rebuild on them but after a good wash with Gunk Natural Green and some Autosol for the brake rub they have come up a treat  :coolsmiley:
