Spinergy Rev-X wheel differences ??
Hello,
I am considering getting a pair of used Spinergy Rev-X carbon wheels. Some folks have told me that the color of the letters may identify the difference of the class of wheels (weight and such). Could anyone here help fill me in on this info? Thanks, Rick in Tennesseee |

Thanks, Rick in Tennesseee Going from memory. The blue stickers were a later version with the blades outboard of the bearings making for increased lateral strength. There was a lightweight version but the only difference was a ti axle. Installation of x-beams was touted to improve wheel stiffness but that was a piece of bull. It would "slightly" improve lateral stability in the event of a loss of lower blade/spoke tension (there were several instances of reported wheel failures). I still have a blue sticker set from the mid 90s. I still ride them but I check them for delam, cracks and spoke tension. The Spinergy website doesn't give much info on rev x. http://www.spinergy.com/frequently_asked_questions.htm Phil H |

Thanks, Rick in Tennesseee I've been riding a pair since they were first released without any problems. I've recently bought a second pair (second hand) and have complete faith in them. Marty |
