Only what's on the SIP site. They told me yesterday that should be in stock in 3-4 weeks. As far as I know they're similar to the Vespa ones featured in the January (?) edition of Scootering.

This bit bothers me.....
Includes two different types of nuts with a wrench size of 12mm (0,472 inches), valve notch also fits GRIMECA brake drum. Type 1: 5x acorn nut, classic shape, to be used with the provided U-washers and lock rings. Type 2: 5x hexagonal nut, closed version to be used with screw locker, e.g. Loctite. No homologation, “FOR RACE USE ONLYâ€.
That's what it says on the Vespa ones so I imagine it'll be the same for Lambretta. Why would you need to loctite the nuts on? Are they too thick to allow the use of nylocks? Don't forget to order a valve also.

I think that's the case with the Vespa ones, not sure about the Lambretta rims. In the Scootering article, Andy fitted nuts with split(spring?) washers, ok on the front of his PX200, but not on the rear, so he used Nord-Lock washers. I wouldn't have any issue useing this method, but would possibly use Loctite too.corrado wrote: Why would you need to loctite the nuts on? Are they too thick to allow the use of nylocks?
