Hello there, welcome to the site :D

i beleive Red5 is planning a trip to the Ring for next year, check the ride out or meets sections. There is also a friendly ride, easy paced 'get to know you' sort of ride out coming soon.

Otherwise jump in and enjoy the site ;)

Hello and welcome. Mosel eh? I stayed in traben trarbach for sbk at the ring some years back, absolutely brilliant area of Germany. Also stayed in Boppard on the Rhine the following year but I have only just got back into bikes after a 12 year hiatus. I'm only about 8 miles from you so when anything is happening it will be posted here. :D

I guess the wheels are way lighter?

How did they change the feel of the bike?

yeah less than half the weight , you cannot believe the weight difference.
it makes the bike nimble as anything feels like a four hundred.
and reduces the tyre wear ive done two years riding which included two trips to the ring and they still reckon they have a good thousand miles to go mad. And of course they look the testicles :D

A pair for my Fizzer would be on my wish list. Sadly out of my budget though new and second hand I couldn't trust.
