    How can a simple disc be exciting unless it's carbon-fibre or nano-composite ??

    Bling isn't plastic !!

    Hmmmmm .....

    They do make replacement wheel center caps. I'll go measure the wheel center and see if anyone makes something kind of close.

    I believe Thurn Motorsport in Germany is the only place that makes those Robert,I've never seen them for sale anywhere else. I use a Yellow Thurn Motorsport center plug in my rear wheel right now.....

    .....but I used to use a Red STM frame plug with a custom machined aluminum puck that anchored it inside the rear wheel pretty much the same way the Thurn Motorsport center plug does.

    I just removed the stock Grey plastic cap and used an STM frame plug there too,works perfectly. Pops right in,just make sure to tighten it down securely.

    I used the 29-30mm size plug.

    Just a heads-up Rangemaster the shape of those STM frame plugs is different now. They're no longer domed shaped like the one you see in my pics,they now have a much flatter profile.
