My last BMX I switched to them, & it rid my problems of spoked wheels.

what kind of spoked wheels were the ones that you tacoed? skyways flex too much and crack easy(and thats coming from a 123lb. short guy). We're not trying to pick on you or be jerks to you when we say that a race bike like that isnt going to hold up to a lot of abuse from street riding. it just isnt designed for that. Its like taking a Ferrari off-roading, it just want designed for that and won't last too long with the abuse.

I wish I could remember the brands. 1 was a Mongoose wheel with holes between the nipples. It had super thick spokes & weighed a ton. BTW, I never cracked a Skyway.

I don't feel threatened by your post at all.

BTW I've seen an old '83 Honda Civic take more offroad abuse that many lifted 4x4's broke on....

but a honda civic isnt made from carbon fiber, has a bit more ground clearance and softer suspension with more travel than a race car like a Ferrari. that deosnt really matter as long as you get what im trying to say

My former Hutch Pro Racer handled the abuse.

I wouldn't rule out a spoked wheel. Show me one as durable, or stronger than a mag...

Pretty much any modern spoked wheel is more durable than a mag. Even with Primo's patented string cheese spokes and a single-wall rim you'd have a more solid wheel.

The only bad thing about spoke wheels is keeping them nice looking...cleaning 'em is a beautch.

You made a new word. And stainless spokes have never given me any trouble.

rawr.



this thread is going no where slow.


so hows about you do what you want...

I don't feel threatened by your post at all.
you werent supposed to feel threatened. you asked for everyones advice and they gave it to you.
some did it nicer than others. either accept it or dont accept it but stop fighting about it because your getting nowhere

Not fighting. You don't get that, do ya?

Didn't the last bike you had complete faith and trust in break when you were riding a trail, so you returned it and got your $200 back from walmart?

I don't understand why you don't trust anyone's opinion, some people do actually know what they're talking about.

I had faith in the frame. The F R A M E D I D N O T F A I L !

And It Was $250 @ Target.

it wasnt the numbers or the place...its was the point.

Now why would someone want to do that. Im sure a race bike will be fine for street, especially a k2. Now please excuse me as i go and buy a tandem so i can use it at the skatepark today.

Tandem in a skatepark. I'd love to see that!

you know hes makeing fun of you right?

Yeah. I can laugh at myself.

It's a very strong frame to be for racing. I feel comfortable using it. If only others could just move on. I still have questions, but negativity has made me refrain from asking.

There are jokes then there are insults. There hasn't been much joking.

Yeah. I can laugh at myself.

This just proves my point. Why do you feel the need to hand out insults? Low self esteem?

There.

Well it must not have been too positive there, Mr. 'tude.

I would move on, but what you're stating simply is not true.

Bye-bye.

Nice sig. It's not my fault that you know nothing of what you speak.
