Fair enough, but they're is a reason for them not being made any more.......

Look at the Comp MO. It's been around since I was in high school. And thats a while......................... And everyone wants a set, and gets them, and they look cool in both 5 and 6 spoke versions.

Is it me being thick? Or a style thing?

MO's are strong and can fit big brakes but there far from light
