Title: OS ON NS
Post by: magna13 on May 18, 2008, 12:24 PM

hey everyone.

my NS racer, a 2006 Felt Sector is in need of some new wheels and i was thinking about putting some ACS Z Rims on it. i mean they're plastic so they must be lighter than normal wheels but could they take the strenghts of NS BMX racing???? help???

 :) They`ll look good,but they do flex a fair old bit,but it`s your bike so go for it and see how it rides.I run a fair few older parts on my NS bike,A-Brake,Black Widow pedals & A`me grips-all good!!

you cant get ride of the flex  and they will flex
a few members race them in the os series so ask them.
you can run acs z 48s now they are stiffer.
