I've got to tell you for future reference, that Banebots is doing some really cool stuff with Colsons. We were running 1.5s until we discovered their fantastic machined hubs that fit into the 1.25 wheels. With the hubs, these wheels are lighter than the 1.5 by a big margin, plus they are nearly plug and play width as a drop in replacement for AM or other wheels. To top it off, they will grind the crown off the wheels, leaving a nubby surface that makes the Colsons a rival for any rough top or wedge top tread, I think.

Could you post some pictures of the new BaneBots colson related products that you bought, I am pretty sure I can imagine what they look like by the descriptions on the site but pictures would be sweet.
