How accurate do you want to be? Pretty sure it'll be between 8 and 10kgs. |

Ah, I see. If you don't get any other responses in the next day or two I'll rip one off and weigh it - I've got 4.5" minilites with new A008s, no tubes. Let me know. Matt |

Maybe get some genuine magnesium minilites . Then you will save a few kg and fit them in easy. ![]() |

Bugga -only have 30Kg each - even if I could get one in each case it would save the freight on 2 ![]() |

I am not sure what 10x5 weigh as i have never purchased 10x5"s |

Cheers, Ian Thanks - now to start wheeling and dealing - even if I bring home two in our cases it will halve the freight ![]() |

Go via the US.... or around -the- world. Any ticket that includes a US stop -over gets a much larger weight allowance... Two in the checked bag and two carry-ons?? I think I've mentioned before; I once managed to get a carry-on that I couldn't lift with one hand onto a Qantas 747..... javascript:emoticon('8)') Unaccompanied baggage is pretty much your cheapest option.

After reading this thread you do realize I’m going to be glued to the telly every Sunday night for months Watching every customs and boarder control program in the slight hope of seeing a man trying to smuggle four ten inch wheels into Australia in his luggage….. Only reason the authorities where alerted to this suspect individual was because the drug sniffing beagle started to act funny and bark in a very high pitch bark. As one of the helium filled wheels had developed a slow leak while in transit. After deciding a full body frisk was in order customs officers removed one aerial and two weather strips from the suspects’ body ![]() Officers where alerted to the man before the beagle started to act strange……… He seemed to be wearing a hat that was fashioned out BK450 head gaskets and to be wearing a 9 piece carpet trousers and jacket…… ![]() ![]() ![]() |
