Sixty - do you know anything about the wheels that came stock on the UO-8? Mine are really heavy steel, with the textured sidewalls/braking surface - which I always assumed was for use with a Dyno light. I'm going to have to swap them out, but didn't know if they were original to the bike or later additions.

Like I said, they're ridiculously heavy.
