Zazen Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I have a 5th gen ('99). I think that the 8-spoke is a more attractive wheel, but before I purchase one, I'd like to know how much they each weigh (bare, without tires mounted). Does anyone have the data handy? Thank you! Alternatively, are there any aftermarket wheels that fit as well? Kirk A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Mohawk Posted September 25, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 25, 2021 5th gen rear is 6kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Lorne Posted September 25, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 25, 2021 The 5-spoke and 8-spoke rears weigh the same - 12 pounds according to my old bathroom scale. Neither had tires, weights, or valve stems. Dunno about aftermarket, but they'd be unlikely to be less expensive than an old oe 8-spoke. And they do make a 5th gen look its best.
