Why is anyone optimistic about the new Coker AR big wheel? The AR 4
pronged frame looks heavy, and may be in the way of pedaling. The AR
rim has 48 spokes which serves no advantage over the 36 spoke rim.
There has been no word on the AR wheel not being 36" like all other big
wheels, and splinned hub (if offered) would only be a benefit to
extremely few extreme big wheel riders. Coker hasn't invented flubber,
the tires are the same rubber as anyone else's, maybe they have a
flopper.
AR = Almost Ready
I'm not going to say don't wait for Coker, but giving Coker the benefit
of the doubt, how much better than the Nimbus 36 or the Radial 360
could it be?
Nothing they've leaked has been revolutionary, it has seemed moslty
odd. Maybe if they leaked out "Aluminum frame", at this point, that
would be interesting.
