Reply to "Marvic Wheels reproduction magnesium 10” wheels"

Hi Kristian,
it's quite a lot of money, to be sure. And there is the eternal discussion on tyre availability in decent speed ratings. I think there is interest in them, but how much is difficult to guage. There definitely seems to be a trend back towards originality right now, but I think you need some more data for them to make a decision. If Marvic were able to lean on Pirelli or another tyre manufacturer and get sets of tyres in the correct sizes manufactured, there would be much more interest. There is also the issue of which version of the 10 inch Campy they would manufacture. Right now I have the later version with the staggered length of ribs on the front side, and they seem to be stronger than the earlier version with the even length of ribs on the front side, of which I have one of. But the later version is not correct for my Pantera. Nevertheless, for me personally, I wouldn't be in the market for a set of wheels unless one of mine was damaged or became porous etc.
Cheers, Tim.
