Hi Jack,
In comparison to real Minilites, Panasports, Revolutions etc., they are way
overbuilt and heavy. Here is something that should make you feel good . . .
the Minators should never break on your Sprite. They are very safe (though
also a little boring) in that respect.
Yes, I can state what I just did because I have owned the rims to compare.
Do you know anyone with an actual magnesium Minilite that you can hold up in
comparison to the Minator? If you could feel the difference, you would
understand the comments made fully.
. . . And then it is possible to buy the knock-on Minators that are 8 more
lbs. of unsprung weight to slow you down. Run for your life!
Mike C
