I was browsing through the 2010 sunline catalog and noticed they offer wheels now, has anyone had experience with them or know if they are just someone elses wheels that sunline rebranded?
Whuahahaha, right on the moneyHope they're better than their headsets
They do look pretty promising and the "claimed" weight is low for sure. Just shooting from the hip but i would guess they will be in the $500-600 range. It would be difficult for them to compete with higher end established wheelsets, while they look to be higher quality than a lower end Azonic Outlaw or something. I sent an email to someone today, hopefully I will have some real information on Monday...The wheels look pretty legit, 1967gms for the pair I'm guessing they'll be in the 700-900$ range. That chainguide looks pretty promising as well, I for one have been plagued with problems of rotating guides and stripped tabs, if it works as described it will replace my LG1.
I did not have any luck with my zerostack headset... The tolerances were too tight, the bearings didn't last very long and the parallel contact made no sense. However, I do give them credit for recognizing there were issues and discontinuing them.there was nothing wrong with their headsets. Only something wrong with the hack installing them.
Lets hope not.1st guess, WTB.
That sounds about right, but their moto wheels are pretty high end if that means anything.They do look pretty promising and the "claimed" weight is low for sure.

It's just Taiwanese stuff. It's all made in the same half-dozen factories. For that money you can get something much more exciting.I was browsing through the 2010 sunline catalog and noticed they offer wheels now, has anyone had experience with them or know if they are just someone elses wheels that sunline rebranded?
No... Sunline headsets suck assthere was nothing wrong with their headsets. Only something wrong with the hack installing them.
I had one and I just never got on with it, but I cant tell you why??Hope they're better than their headsets
Exactly. Think of it like the Syncros guide, except the Syncros lower arm is a fixed piece of spring steel. The Sunline Travel Guide's lower arm pivots, with a torsion spring on the pivot to snap it back into place after smacking something. Jason did a good job on that one . . . can't wait for it to be released.Just to clarify, the chainguide doesnt move with the suspension. IF the BB is low enough to make the chainguide hit a rock, it will flex out of the way, using a spring to return. it doesnt necessarily move with the motion of the suspension.
+1. It gave me fits my first install but that was my fault, not the headset's.The function of the Sunline headsets was just fine if you have even a single neuron firing in your brain.
This isn't new. Mr Dirt (Bob Barnett) did this way back in like 1997 with the original (but modified) Mr Dirt Chainguides.Just to clarify, the chainguide doesnt move with the suspension.
