Gerro's 50 Build

[Gerro]

Awesome, I sent Jon an email but haven't heard back yet. I was looking at buying a black 10" rear wheel in the mag style to finish of my bike. How much was the postage to Australia for ur wheels??

 

[turdo]

hes usually pretty quick with replys so he might be checkin stock or when they come in next. cant remember postage, I had a pretty big order. shouldnt be more than $50

 

[Gerro]

Thanks mate.. What did you do with your stock brake assemblies as far as painting, did you just leave them grey, you would think they would make billet inserts to replace them.. I was thinking about polishing the rear one up..

 

[Jammo]

love your build gerro, so clean man ! love it, polished really makes it shine

 

[Westyftw]

^^^^^ I agree love the build inspired me to get a 50

 

[turdo]

never thought about the brakes yet. I got disk on the front now so I guess I better do something to the rear.

 

[Gerro]

I was just thinking I don't really want to use the grey stock drum brake on a nice black billet wheel..

I have been trying to decide on just buying a Fast50s billet wheel for the rear and leaving the Marzocchi wheel upfront or buying black excel rims front and rear with excel spokes on the back with a black powder coated stock hub and the stock marzocchi hub and spokes on the front.. Both will work out to be a similar cost so what are you opinions...

 

[turdo]

I think you and me have very similar tastes lol Id be happy with either of those options. 2 excels would be the clean look though

 

[Westyftw]

i would go with the black excels they would look sick

 

[Gerro]

Yeah some people swear by spoked wheels not quite sure why.. Turdo you and me both have expensive taste.. Haha

 

[Westyftw]

well i got D.I.D rims red on my 150r and they are pretty good but yeah it is an expensive upgrade that don't really do anything but look awesome. If you got the money i would go for em

 

[TomaszBurcon]

Go billets. cant get billets on a big bike, make minis look mad

 

[Westyftw]

yeah billets would work well for a mini

 

[Gerro]

Just about to order a billet rear wheel.. Turdo, how does the anodising hold up on the wheels you've had??

 

[Gerro]

What colour billet do you guys think silver or black.. Silver would be easier to maintain..

 

[turdo]

Black man. Gotta polish silver to keep the shiny look. Black is just wiping after you wash it. I havnt had a scratch on any of my sets yet. What style are you goin? Tear drop, mag?

 

[Gerro]

I think I will be going black in the Mag style..

 

[timeeh]

 

[Gerro]

Haha, nice one.. Just sent the payment to Jon for the Black mag style billet wheel, paid a bit extra for express so I am hoping its here before Christmas..

 

[turdo]

Nice. I got an order this morning too. Should only take a week and a half to get here man.
