Came home to these in a box from Italy

I got my new forged magnesium ten spokes today. Tonight I mounted my new Michelin Pilot Powers, brake rotors, and balanced them. Went smooth as a babies butt. I mounted both tires without any tools, only my bare hands. No chance of nicking the new paint. Come on warm weather.

Oooooooh you bastard!!!!! You already have your tires mounted and the whole nine yards.

I had to go have dinner with my folks. I couldn't play with my new toys.

They look almost as cool as mine.

Kinda like Red Green says, "If the women can't find ya handsome, at least they'll find ya handy."

Who the hell's "Red Green?" Wheels look awesome!

No, they look pretty normal I think. Most tire and wheel combos require some help from a tire iron. There are two keys to getting them mounted with hands only. One is I use TireSlick tire mounting lube, the best there is IMO, and the second is the depth of the center of the rim. The first side will all but fall on and the second you get started and then take your knees and force the started side into the center of the rim. As you are holding the closest side to you with your knees, you just work the rest with your hands. It doesn't happen very often, but it did on these.

Sweet wheels!!
How did you balance them,did you set them on your knee and spin them 'til they stopped wobbling?
After seeing your's and Mental's 10 spokes,that's the wheels for me!!
I am going with black ones on my red frame.

No, for that I go the traditional route. I have a Weigl-Telefix wheel balancer that is labeled Metzeler. It has been one of the best tools I have purchased.

I will shut up now
