They're so horrible it makes me want to build a bike for them. Almost. Sorta like the Primal jersey of wheels. |

Velocity has introduced a "fixed gear" (i.e. no brake track) rim that's 43mm deep. That's probably wide enough to do some objectification of women. Wide enough for AYHSMB that you can read from down the block. Has anybody else noticed that one person's coaster-brake-only rim is another person's disc-specific rim is another person's fixed gear rim? Chalo |

I've only owned one rim ever with 'cut sides' (Barcelona) and it's on a drum brake wheel anyway. Most 'features' are vastly overrated. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
