Manx vs 3DM Avalon comparison

How do Manx wheels compare with 3DM Avalons? Shape, offset, speed, grip, wear, etc.
Will they fit on aluminum Seismics?

The lip on 3dm's makes them slower than Manx wheels.
and orange is fast
i assume they would work on seismics, i haven't tried my manx wheels on my seismics yet, i'll check later, i'm feeling a bit lazy right now

I am pretty sure they will fit on the sicecmics becuase the seicmic can't fit center set wheels and I am pretty sure they arn't center set. So probably they will fit.

They clear 105 Seismics just fine, as long as you throw a couple speed rings in there... probably won't need to do that if you have the extra fat speed rings that come with the seismics...

... back to the comparison ...
Avalons are great wheels
- but -
Manx are better
(IMHO)
.......Better grip
.......Better slide / re-hookup
.......More predictable / no lip buckle
.......Faster
(like I said, IMHO)

Dan bought 3dm with the wheel designalready established.
Why mess with a winning wheel? Now Chicken has come in with a
better wheel.
I'd like to see what Dan's R&D comes up with in response (or Chris
for that matter).
Speaking of ... What about the Grippins niche? No competitors yet?
Who else is going to come out with a center-set performance wheel?
