Transition / Revolution wheelset
- Thread starter Summit
- Start date
are they the same as azonic outlaws? the price is the same. neither company is known as a wheel maker, so they could be be buying these from the same no-name factory. azonic's web page does not give enough detail to compare the finer points.
look the same as outlwas/locos
sure do..
wheels are the new stems and bars. i remember a few years back when all these small companies (like .243 racing) were making frames, then started making bars and stems.
get a bike yet?
the decision is all but made. it probably won't be a transition (sorry gang)fiddy_ryder said:
i need another week before i can finalize the purchase and another couple of weeks after that to get the frame and parts. watch for pics....and now, back to the thread.
well that's disappointing...so the outlaws are crap? makes sense for that price I suppose.
nope.. outlaws are damn good wheels for the price.. ive beat on mine quite a bit and still not bad..
Who said they were crap?Summit said:
Outlaws are a damn fine wheelset forthe money... one of the best values in wheelsets that I have ever purchased. Mine have seen time at Northstar, Mammoth, Bootleg Canyon and numerous local trails with only minimal adjustments.
They are not industructable - I have put a flat spot on the rear by casing a small jump (hit the square edge of a concrete piece), but that was all my fault. Don't know many other wheelsets that could take a 210lb rider on a hardtail casing like that.
Those actualy appear to be bombshell revolution wheels, just rebadged.
having checked out the outlaws and the transitions, they aren't the same, transitions look alittle beefier. and nicer
the 32 hole are just like the outlaws and the locos i beleave but the 36 h are much different.
from my experance with transition i don't think that they would sell or put their name on a prduct that they personnally didn't beleaven in. also they take damn good care of the costumers

Word. Might have to give em a try then...
agreed. i am not saying they are a bad product, just not their own creation.Sir_Crackien said:
it still seems the outlaws are a better buy. for the same money you get a similar quality product, with more axle options.
They are azonics with their own label boys...And they are sic! Everyone should take advantage of them and call up kevin or kyle and order a set!
that-a-boy! pimp your sponsor.
you get that gran mal up and running yet?

I wonder if I can get the 10mm QR axle for my Locos. 
I wonder who I would need to call.
I wonder who I would need to call.umm.. if its the same as outlaws.. i have one. I use the nutted axle anyway. find a price online and we can work something out.
Can you change the quikrelease 10mm to a nutted 10mm? If so where do you get a 10mm nutted axel?

I keep thinking that it's for 12mm dropouts, but if the price is right, I'll take it and just see if it works. What sounds fair to you? You have the nuts and the axle???fiddy_ryder said:
ok,, which one are you looking for? nutted axle or the quick release? i have the QR set up i dont need (running the 10 axle now).. to go 10mm axle you need the 12mm stepped to 10mm axle. either by atom lab or azonic...loco said:

I thought you were saying you had the bolt on. If you have a solid 10mm QR, I would be interested in that for my trail bike. If it's the hollow QR axle, I am good on those. I wouldn't mind that QR on the Transition wheels though. I really need to figure exactly what I need for a bolt on. I just built an old ritchey hub and treaded the axle for a 6mm bolt for now, but want real bmx bolts on the urban bike. I am thinking the axle will work that either atom lab or azonic has, but I have been leary to try it. I guess I should just get one. I didn't know how generic those are though.fiddy_ryder said:
I have the solid QR axle setup that I dont need. Im using the nutted axle. I am pretty sure that the atom lab, azonic axles will work with the Trans wheels since its all 135 mm spacing(the atom lab setup works with outlaws). Thats as long as the Trans wheels are the 12mm/10mm axle compatible like the outlaws.
are they as "light" as the website says?
Weight: 32hole Wheelset 2222g, 36hole Wheelset 2449g
afterall, industrynines are supposedly super light and they weigh in at 2140 for the DH set.
