^^^ All sound advice, thanks.
I'm aware of the cracking issue, took the punt as the Pacenti were local to me and cheaper than Kinlin or anything comparable. Given my weight/riding and the decent tension ratio (mid 60s) I might actually get some worthwhile mileage out of them.
Theres a reason why they are cheaper now. Utter shit. Suitable for front wheels only.for single speed builds they are o.k.
Yeah, they couldn't take the tension they were rated at. What was the final tension on your 16:8 sl23/Royce ti build; are they still running?
