How do these work then? Are they used in conjunction with a new rim? I can't see how they'll work with a standard rim. Am I just being dim?

You just fit your 4 bolts as normal

Still don't get it. Why have 8 fixing points if you only use 4? The picture shows 8 studs and obviously with a standard rim you only need 4 studs. I'm confused.

They are producing an 8 stud rim which is part of the strength PLUS the ribbing on the inside but you can still use as 4 stud

When you shear one or two studs, you just rotate the wheel onto the spare set. Result!

nice one lol

not really, as then you have to carry the spare studs.
I think the issue here is someone has invented yet another item thats come from fear mongering.

Its near 300 quid, plus you need a special layshaft plus a special bearing, basically all to get rid of the cone setup. What a load of shite. nearly £500 quid when a 40 quid uni hub, sil layshaft and casa bearing are all about 20% of that!

Ooops misread the site, thought that it was 240 for the hub alone but thats a kit with it and layshaft and bearing.

Still far dearer than the normal stuff.

I like the idea of 8 fixing points and the fact that original Innocenti layshafts are getting on a bit and with SIL quality sometimes dubious ( add in the fakes ) so the new shafts are a step toward imo. If the rims are tubeless I may invest in a complete kit. For say less than £300 for everything it's not a lot for safety and peace of mind.
