Great rims and easy to fit tyres. However, unlike Sticky I don’t have a bead breaker and getting tyre off is a proper pain. Also, difficult to fit past panel bracket on my series 1 and deflating it then broke the seal. I now fit to scoot before inflating.
I have a set of the first vespa ones. I agree completely about the importance of centering the rim halves. It's a pity the didn't put dimples between the halves or some method to centre without drama. I'm really impressed with them. I'm liking the fact that the Gori name lives on too.
I got these and the finish is great. I powdercoated mine white. Upon unboxing saw in the instructions they are not compatible with a standard inboard disc brake. Why is this? I see the the nuts and bolts on the inside rim interfere with the disc hub. But this can be resolved with different hardware. Are there other reasons? Safety? Many Thanks for the video.
They are not really poor quality. The nut height was a mistake in the packing dept and will be corrected in the future. The maximum pressure off the hub is a limitation of the Lambretta design (fewer fasteners than Vespa). The need for manual rim alignment is something that could be eliminated but it's not a problem to align during a build.

stupid question: can regular tubular tyres be used on this ?
Great, I’m getting some.
Are these any good?
Any idea on price Sticky? Also do Lambretta restore still make that bead popper 😉
The price is in the article.

Not good than SIP rim tubeless

Wow they look dreadful, really poor quality.
