tonk Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Hello, friend has just got a bike with BST carbon wheels and although it doesn't need new tyres just yet it won't be long. Any advice for getting them fitted? Does it have to be a specialist or just someone very careful who's done them before? There's a tiny bit of damage on the rims already but not bad for a 10 year old bike. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
426hemi Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Any reputable tyre fitter, I’ve had them for 15 years and just use well established Tyre fitters. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonk Posted March 6 Author Report Share Posted March 6 Thank you, I thought they would be super fragile but it's amazing how solid they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to metal wheels they defo require more attention. They will fray if you´re not careful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonk Posted March 6 Author Report Share Posted March 6 Cheers TLRS. Thankfully they just have a couple of small chunks out, had a really close look at the edges and they're nice and crisp, but I can see how they would fray if the resin deteriorated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I would have some cf wheels again I´d make a protector lip from mix to harden metal putty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
