Title: ACS Z-mags
Post by: gmac on November 14, 2005, 10:41 PM: Any good compared to Tuffs, cos they look sexy ? I'm thinking about using them on my Ripper.

Post by: weston on November 14, 2005, 11:03 PM: they are a quality mag, one of the best ever made, super strong & rigid, thats a bargain price as they are normally about £80-£120 a pair. worth getting if your after riding the bike & not storing it. recommended ;D

Post by: pickle on November 15, 2005, 12:32 PM: Just another tip though....like there Z rims, the white lettering rubs off the minute a brake block looks at them.

Cool mags though :)

Post by: gmac on November 15, 2005, 12:34 PM: I'm not gonna ride on them, just gawp ;D

Post by: ORB on November 15, 2005, 12:36 PM: Well, I think they look well cool, but the problem is, they are NOT as rigid as tuffs or Zytecs, they are a softer composite and therefore a bit more flexy.

If its a PK Ripper, gotta be tuffage.

Thats the rules.

rules are rules ;)

Post by: weston on November 15, 2005, 07:43 PM: if they are the new model & not old stock they are very strong, i rode the new ones all last year & im not very smooth as i only rode at weekends for a couple of hours so i rode hard...

Post by: ODI on November 17, 2005, 02:53 PM: I have a pair of Z mags on my white streetbeat and they look the nuts and are a sweet ride, shame the white lettering comes off with brake wear

Post by: weston on November 20, 2005, 07:39 PM: the old versions are cheaper than the new ones, the new ones are alot stronger and are very rigid, if you look at my old for sale posts i had 3 pairs of new ones for sale at £75 inc p&p but the have all gone, also the new ones all have 14mm axle conversion kits & they only come in black.
