Simplex mag wheels
« on: July 21, 2013, 10:03 PM »
I bought a complete Falcon Pro Kappa on ebay a few weeks ago, and it came with these wheels on it. I don't think they were the stock wheels, as my original Falcon Pro Kappa came with chrome steel rims/spokes.  They are made by Simplex, and were made in France. I've never seen or even heard of these before. Has anyone heard of them, and could give me any more info on them? I've no use for them, so they're been listed on ebay.

A few pics:

They also appeared on the Raleigh Vector or was it street shite.. I know in 1990 to 99, I saw one pair come in on one of those bikes for repair when I worked at Raynes (Raleigh 5star dealer) To buy new then, they were about £35 ish. Don't know how strong they were tho. Nice clean pair though. If you ever strip the bearings etc, pm me some pics. One of those never seen jobs.
