Could someone who has Spinergy 24" wheels measure the inside diameter for me please? I want to order some but before I do I'd like to know if my Kuschall titanium handrims will fit as I could save quite a bit if they do. The diameter of the studs on my current rims is 21"

The diameter of mine from inside rim to rim is 52cm or 20 1/2 inch

Thanks Nomis, looks like my pushrims will fit. I just checked my wheels again and they're 20 1/2" ... the tape bent under the hub the first time I measured. Do you find the Spinergy wheels better than ordinary wheels? The new 12 spokes look very light ... and much easier to clean than standard wheels!

Hi i have the 12 spoke LX spinergy wheels and they are light and strong they are easier to take on and off too as you can fit your hand through the spokes to reach the release button they are in my opinion the best wheels that i have ever had.

Likewise, I appreciate the big easy release button and they're light and easy to handle getting into a car. Once I'm rolling I don't notice any difference. I guess there are benefits but they're subtle - maybe if I was racing I'd notice but I am not nor do I intend to race.

When I bought my spinergies....i saw a HUGE difference in weight. Not only are they easier for me to put in and take out of my car, they're a hell of a lot lighter than the 100 spoke Cadillac rims quickie had sent out originally. I say DEFINITELY get them!

I bought my spinergy spox (18 spokes) for a little under 370 shipped. Brand new. I found them on eBay.

I love eBay.

They are expensive but worth it to have one set. Much lighter than traditional spoke wheels I used for 15 years and those spokes always came loose and broke. No problems with the Spinergies and the wheel itself is much better quality.

Match them up with some Shox solid urethane tires and you are good to go with no more worries of flats.
