antonio carroccio Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Just fouling arond Paul. Let me play, please...
Dan M Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I would't go for a 6", a 5,5 is wide enough Thanks for the memory jog Paul. For some reason I was thinking the early V11s came with a 5.5" and the later ones (like I have) came with a 6" I realize now it's a 5.5 on my bike.

Dan 2-3 month isn't to long, better= faily quick, just order them, every day you wait is a day more before you get them.
Dan M Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Dan 2-3 month isn't to long, better= faily quick, just order them, every day you wait is a day more before you get them. I did! He said the 5.5 was a stocked item in Italy and I should see them in about a month. It will be at least 6 weeks before I can ride with any regularity anyway.
Dan M Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 A big box arrived yesterday with MARVIC all over it!!! I opened it up, lifted the front wheel out, beautiful, very light, nice finish. Dig further lift out the rear, it's... wrong. Completely different drive side. Sonofabitch. I talked to Yoyodyne this morning and sent him some pics. Now more waiting. Talk about a mood swing, Sigh....

Paul Minnaert Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 well put in some pictures anyway. And put them on the scale, so we know how heavy they realy are.
Dan M Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 well put in some pictures anyway. And put them on the scale, so we know how heavy they realy are. The front is 6lbs-13oz -- 3.05kg / The rear is 7lbs-14oz -- 3.57kg Weight is with bearings & spacers, without rotors.

Guest drknow Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Yeah, but there's supposed to be a removable cush drive that slots into those holes. Check the width and I believe you might just have not received the cush portion. They have a carrier for the vanes, just like a carrier for the sprocket.

Check the width and I believe you might just have not received the cush portion. They have a carrier for the vanes, just like a carrier for the sprocket. Really? In the Marvic literature that was included there are pictures of other wheels that have the vane type of cush drive casted in. When I called the distributer he made no mention, and I asked if there were more parts. Also, the bearing does not protrude to support the spline gear as on the old style. Seems like the spline would wobble. Unless their carrier has it built in.
Paul Minnaert Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 the wheel looks ok to me, only they should have added the part that fits between reardrive and the wheel, that is supposed to be with the wheel, and in your set, Is the mgs01 part. look at the picture, you shouldget part 4, 5, 14, 14, 15

I'll call Fred again. Edit: Fred had told me last week that he wanted to photograph the wheels before shipping. On my last call to him I suggested that he may have misplaced the box during the photo shoot. He dismissed that theory.
Paul Minnaert Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 what I can't understand, is that they don't treat the centers, magnesium needs to be shielded to stay ok. A bit paint would have helped.
