Freeline aluminum and magnesium identification

[Marc Jordan]

Q1. How can I tell if my Freeline rims are aluminum or magnesium?

Q2 What are the advantages of using front spindles V rims with bearings




Thanks

[Chris Lobaugh]

Front and Rear magnesium wheels are vented, kind of a yellow/brown color, and are much lighter than aluminum.

Aluminum wheels are solid front and rear (unless you are using bearing mount wheels), are either unpainted aluminum or painted black in color, and have markings in the casting (inside edge where the wheel mounts to the hub...you do not have to dismount the tire off of the wheel or the wheel off of the hub to read) which will read either CH or DH; 120, 130, 180, or 210.
Hope this helps.
