Fluidisk 666 Disc Wheels

[Townman]

Hello,

I have the chance to buy a pair of Fluidisk/666 disc wheels for my Rossin Pursuit bike one 700c and a front 650c. I have been looking around for these wheels for a while now but there is very little information about them online. Does anyone know the history of these?

I know they're Russian and I believe made from Kevlar.

Here is a similar Rossin with the Fluidisk wheels -

I would be very grateful for any information on these wheels.

Thanks,
Matt

I still think this special bike deserves the best & that is Ghibli Discs

I thought Fluidisk and 666 where different wheels?

Regardless, those Russian kevlar discs are very cool
A Ghibli 700 rear and a Scirocco semi-disc 650 front would also look pretty good with the gusseted triangle of the Rossin (if you could ever find one of those old Scirocco's)

I wonder why they have that strange lay-up with the fibre directions?

i actually thought they were carbon but the resin that was used had "browned" a lot

The wheels have both 666 and Fluidisk decals on so I presumed they were the same. I agree Ghibli 700 rear and a Scirocco semi-disc 650 would look great but as you say, super hard to come by.

My build is predominantly Russian as it was previously owned by the Russian Olympic coach. I think it's nice that I use some Russian parts.

With you on using Fluidisks over Campag.

There was a brand name "Juna" associated with these wheels too.

I had one of those.
