I think the ACS Z-Rims came out around 1980 ? But what about the Z-Mags ? Similar time ? Anyone got any info or adverts from a dated magazine

Cheers

i could be wrong but thought zeds came out about 1982, there is a web site somewhere that puts a date on everything...

If its the martinbike website your talking about mate I already checked there - he hasn't got any Z-Mags up there but he has the Z-Rims and he has listed them as 1980 - not that that's the be all and end all of it but he looks to be fairly acurate on most things $:-\$
Anyone else any thoughts on a date of first manufacture for the mags ?

Here's a link to the Z-Rims :

ACS was making six spoke zytel (plastic) wheels at the end of the 70s but they were known as Stoker mags. The first issue of BMXA I got hold of in May '80 had a Powerlite Thrasher test using those wheels, here's the ACS ad from the same issue

So I guess the Z-Mags must have come after this time then ? Late 1980 maybe or 81 ?

ACS Z-MAGS came on the market in 1984.I'll find the article in Freestylin Mag when i get time and scan it for you if needed.
