Hub's are standard factory hub's from FMF which are prety good, don't like the lack of spokage to be honest, look a little week to me.

Carbon rims and 24 spokes should be left at the velodrome! or an a micro mini!!

I wouldn't want to rim em much, but the do look the dogs dangalies ;)

 :) personally I think carbon rims are ok on minis.A good friend of mine rides at Manc Velodrome and he has gone through a fair few carbon rims.If they can`t handle that,then I wouldn`t go near them on a BMX track.....also don`t think a lot of FMF,just cheap copies of better stuff.

'rims with carbon fibre overlay' suggests to me that the rims have just got a carbon finish on them? if it is the case then what's the point?..unless you like the bling factor...
