Flame spoke look lighter than crown spoke?

I guess it's impossible to tell without actually weighing them, but does anyone else reckon the flame spokes will be a bit lighter than the crown spokes?

Even if the crown spokes are a less-weighty version of the current s-spokes, I reckon they still look pretty heavy compared to the flames... what do you reckon?

According to the FAQ http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?f...factory_wheels

Flame Spokes weigh 10.0 kg a corner
old S-Spokes weigh 11.4 kg a corner - these are as near as we have to the Crown spokes

Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply!

Hmm... if the Flame spokes are 10.0kg (a bit heavier than I was expecting) and the crown spokes are likely to be lighter than the S-Spokes, then there may not be much in it weight-wise.

Maybe the crown spokes are the way to go after all...

Cheers!
