Author Message   Blks1l Posted on Friday, August 05, 2011 - 11:35 am:        I understand the Uly rear wheel weighs more then the others, any idea of how much more, and where the additional weight is at, pre 2010? Thanks   Froggy Posted on Friday, August 05, 2011 - 11:41 am:        The spokes are reinforced to take more abuse during travel on dirt roads.   No_rice Posted on Friday, August 05, 2011 - 02:01 pm:        i was thinking the center of the outer rim was thicker, more reinforced...?   Spacecapsule1 Posted on Friday, August 05, 2011 - 02:16 pm:        me tinks its just the outer rim, where the bead of the tire is....   Andymnelson Posted on Friday, August 05, 2011 - 02:34 pm:        heavier air in the tire. (that's all thats left...since apparently the hub, spokes and outer rim are heavier )   Hughlysses Posted on Friday, August 05, 2011 - 03:28 pm:        +2 on the thicker outer rim on the Uly. IIRC, both the standard XB and Uly wheels use the same casting. They just machine a little more meat from the inside of the rim for the standard XB wheel.   Blks1l Posted on Friday, August 05, 2011 - 04:12 pm:        Any idea of the weight difference? I have a standard XB wheel for a project that is not in great shape, and am about to get a Uly wheel and someone mentioned it weighed more. It shouldn't make a difference for me, but I was curious. I can't see it being much. Thanks   Oddalloy Posted on Friday, August 05, 2011 - 09:07 pm:        I weighed a set of early Uly Wheels: Front: 9.46 pounds (with bearings and bearing spacer tube; without brake rotor and without brake rotor mounting hardware). Rear: 14.86 pounds (with bearings and bearing spacer tube; without drive pulley, without brake rotor, without pulley and rotor mounting bolts. I have the weights for my standard XB wheels around somewhere... can't find it at-the-moment. I'll post it if I find it.   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 01:47 am:        The 2010 also uses a three bearing rear wheel where the other years use a two bearing wheel.   Andymnelson Posted on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 09:12 am:        Is the 2010 Uly wheel any different than the other 2010 wheels? Did the pre-2010 Uly wheel come in any color other than that hideous magnesium color? Are the XT wheels also "beefed up" somehow, or just the X? So many questions! I truly have no use for the info, but I've wondered these things for a long time now!   Froggy Posted on Saturday, August 06, 2011 - 09:42 am:        quote: Is the 2010 Uly wheel any different than the other 2010 wheels?

No, just the X and XP have it. quote: So many questions! I truly have no use for the info, but I've wondered these things for a long time now! Why didn't you ask sooner? You know I usually do nothing at work anyway
