Subject: Anyone Heard Of J-Disc

I was looking on another site and found some old J-Disc wheels.  Anyone know much about them?

Looks like they are 15-20 years old and the company is now out of business.  I am sure the technology has changed alot since then, but more curious than anything else.

Maybe they're the wheels that J-Lo plans on using in her upcoming tri?

Cool

What would you like to know? I had a couple of sets of them back in the early 90's.

Really anything...I was thinking about getting a cover from wheelbuilder but this could prove much cheaper (and easier than swaping cassetts out).

Will it fit on my Kuota K-Factor.  I currently have a Shimano 105 (10 gears).  This wheel indicates that it has a Shimano Ultegra (600) 7 speed and has 126mm spacing.

It also comes with the front wheel as well.  I don't believe it is a carbon wheel but a deep dish covering.

I don't know much about this type of thing, but I would like a set of decent aero wheels for my upcoming 140.6 race.  The race course is pancake flat in Wilmington NC.  I might be better off renting some wheels, but if these will suffice, then I can continue to use them in other races.....PLUS....They look COOL!

According to sheldon you would have to re-dish the wheel to go 9 speed. Unfortunately re-dishing a disc is not possible.
