  • I don't know to be honest, all I know is that the hubs weight often make little difference, do you know why they need to make light hubs?

    They need to make light hubs for the same reason they need to make any other part of the bike light, to get the overall weight down.
    Otherwise you may as well just ride a bike that weighs 30kg but has nice light rims if only rims matter. Maybe you do :-)

    I like my bike to be light, probably more psychological than anything else though!

  • they tender do that.

  • you guys better have a good (loco)motive for these poor puns.

    OP - Sheldon Brown advised trying fixed before singlespeed, as he was confident this would be the final choice. My first try of fixed was on the Bob jackson with undrilled rear bridge I had bought, and shipped across the north sea. Lucky enough I loved it.

  • puke on cock(pit)

  • Velocity rims look pretty cool...they've got new designs tht you can get at brick lane :)

  • I'd advise an alien musical wheel.

  • Wagon wheels, hmmm

    These are nice track wheels..

    ED: These look sexier, but get the low profile ones, which are better suited to road use.

  • Arrospok FTW

  • Argh Octospok! Kill it.

  • Chernobylspok

  • sorry it's a wheelchair spok ;-)

  • I happen to really enjoy bikes, is that a crime or could there be a little hint of jealousy - understood?

    Not really jealousy, just boredom...and 'use the fucking search' syndrome ...

    hey, if you are really into bikes...thats great, though why oh why in all damned hell are you tossing such gems of 'wisdom' around...it's sort of obvious you have a brain as you sell software to dorks...on the other hand...admit it...you are not 'into' bikes, you like to look at them....tell us you are a complete noob when it comes to two wheels...

    as a standard answer...just get deep 'v's...everyone else in the world without a speck of imagination has some.

    If you are clever enough to get someone pregnant...and have a 9 month old baby...then next time he wakes you up in the middle of the night...peruse the mavic and phil woods catalogues that you picked up, you can discuss all the options with him as he settles down. When baby sitting for my sister I found that they will listen to anything as long as you read it to them correctly.

    you can then buy some ludicrously expensive kit and have someone build your wheels for you....then if the world doesn't end in three years...you can give it to your son unridden for his 18th...

    Everyone is happy.

  • You sound like you need a pair of these, complete with threading for a freewheel.

  • Velocity rims look pretty cool...they've got new designs tht you can get at brick lane :)

    spam ???

  • spam ???

    I'm getting Hornby just reading it....

    :( sorry.

  • I can't be bothered to think of a pun. Instead here is a photo I took on the Adirondack from NY-Montreal - classic train journey:

  • wtf

    meant to read "for kicks" in ref to the wheels mentioned. i wouldn't say no.

  • OK, I thought you actually wanted to kick me. I wouldn't say no either, a nice wheelset it would be although I will have to stick with my on one to open sports until I am better moneyed.

  • ah ah i have similar! zenith to open sport. only one tho.

  • Thought we were heading for derailment, must've been getting the wrong signals.

  • I'm a-freight this thread is going nowhere...
