Think you put too many "0"s in though. 90mm not 900mm.

Otherwise they would be fecking huge!

nah they just are
horrible square edged things with "MX" stamped on them

the earlier rounded ones, like the shimano tourneys are way nicer
don't know what the fuss is over MX 1000s

i'll start buying mx1000's when they get down to 15 quid for a pair
