Default Updated Pics with New Roock Competition Wheels

Just thought I'd share a few pics of my new shoes (threw in some before shots for comparison)...

Note: My photo skills are less than average. Maybe I'll try to get some better shots later. Trust me, my photos don't do the Roock's justice.

Did you weigh the old front wheel/tire combination and rear wheel/tire combination versus the new wheel/tire f and r? I would be curious to know the difference.

When I purchased my set their was no weight difference. If you go Gemballa, you will save a couple pounds.

Thanks, I am looking for some larger wheels but do not want to increase weight. Increased weight of rotating mass absoltely KILLS performance.

I that case remove the front rotors and you will save about 60 pounds of rotating mass. Sure wish they made some good affordable ceramic rotors. Oh well.

...or you can offset that by filling your tires with helium.
