Is there a difference between the standard Excel wheel and the A60?Excel that Colebatch has? If I'm going to do it, might as well go for the best.

....and the Superlace makes total sense. So simple yet brilliant

Excel’s new A60 rims are structurally 15% stronger than current Excel Takasago Signature Series Rims, yet A60 rims remain the same weight.

A60:
A60 21x1.60 BLK 36H 199.68
A60 18x2.15 BLK 36H 220.74

Excel Takasago:
BLK 21X160 36H 161.29
BLK 18X215 36H 178.27

Just got an email from Zach and Woody's today saying "we received your hubs today and should have the wheels shipped out by end of week".

I opted for the A60s with the super lace. You do this once, why not go for the best option for $80 more?

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of when they are done.

Same here...I think Friday next week (27th) I'll pick the complete up from my mechanic...will post some pictures of the overall transformation (Britannica faring, new tires, new wheels, ceramic coating on header, etc...)

As a 29" inseam owner ive been putting up with xchallenge shock for about 4 years (dropped forks, shaved seat etc). I've just ordered a Hagon with 30mm seat height reduction built for my slight 100kgs. Should be here in a couple of weeks.

Below is my bike, which the previous inmate who owned it did a bit to, and I've done the other half. Here's the list:

• TT sprocket guard
• Shark fin
• Chain guide
• Acerbis handguards
• Hyde racing bash plate
• Aluminum gear selector
• Custom-welded rear rack
• Remus Titanium Exhaust (SA, loud)
• New Shinko 700s
• Heated grips
• Heated pigtail
• BMW plug (this bike didn't come with this, right? I'm not sure)
• Bar risers
• Comfort grips
• Weighted bar (bbs and silicone)
• Slip Streamer Spitfire windscreen
• Toolbox hardcases (I'm cheap)
• Custom seat (being replaced on April 28th, show you that later)
• Custom paint (desert sand)
