I'm sure they'd fit over S disks - they'd be pretty dumb to make them so they wouldn't fit...

genuine minilites can be picked up, but they're not safe to use IMO - I've been told they have a really high percentage of magnesium and they're all starting to fall apart :(

I'm sure they fit over S discs, but you would need flares.
(OTOH Contessa LS offset will do without flares, if you find some.. :wink:
Check the spokes carefully, they are crack prone.. :x
Unlike the Mini offset ones, which are stronger there.)

We run 10" superlites on one of the Nb race cars.
S discs front, spacer drums rear.... no flairs.
