id trade anything for a white b43. that is the third most jackass wheel you can run on a sw8 fixay. first would be aerospoke and second would be rev x

Why you guys gotta do this to me! D':
solbrothers
11-22-11, 08:18 PM
truth. but at least those serve a purpose on the track. aerojoke serves no purpose and rev x is dangerous (debatable)
EpicSchwinn said those were fixed after like, the first generation though.

Wait, what? You're given the choice of trading a wheelset for a fork, wheelset and stem? Also,
that is the third most jackass wheel you can run on a sw8 fixay. first would be aerospoke and second would be rev x Huh? You're reaching pretty hard even if I halfway get where you're going. My best guess is this dude isn't gonna/doesn't know anything about track racing btw.

im not sure ive ever seen a picture of a failed late rev-x. ive got both an early and a late set left over from my parents racing days and there is a notable difference. the early set is wall art.(mostly due to high miles) i wouldnt hesitate to ride the late set.
keep in mind broken due to circumstances that would taco a road wheel does not = failure. you also have to remember these came from a day when composite wheels were legal for mass start use. spinergy rev-x wheels were a common sight in professional time trials, road races, triathlons, cyclocross races, and cross country races. despite this high population and rough use there really are not that many pictures of broken wheels out there. (as a percentage of the population)
yes, i own spinacis as well:

Which one do you need? Maybe you should consider posting a picture of your bike to get some positive (yeah, something like that) enforcement.

There were 4 generations. The first 3 were unsafe. Details here (http://pistarice.blogspot.com/2008/12/rev-x-is-actually-very-stiff-wheel.html).
slightly on topic: a B43 weighs 90g less than an entire spinergy wheel.

so you are trading a wheel built with a b43, not just a b43 rim. is that correct?
EpicSchwinn
11-22-11, 10:20 PM
Oh. The lockring is NJS? That changes everything.

http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/windsor/thehour.htm
PHEW. I was worried your lockring wasn't NJS and was gonna tell you to do something about that. Get the 700c carbon fork if vibrations from bumps bother you. If not, dunno

I think you should trade your computer for some books instead.

I'd trade it for
a- 700c carbon fork by fuji track
Make sure the windsor has a 1n1/8th steerer diameter though so the fork fits right.
I wish I had an NJS lockring :(

This thread is a monument to the ************* of ssfg...
i think ssfg does this to a person. i tried clarifying things but lost it by page 2.
rim+spokes+hub=wheel
2(wheel)=wheelset
what part of the equation are we discussing?
im trading my white b43.
?
wait, so you have a b43 wheelset, a b43 wheel, a b43 hoop?

Why is that a question?

im going to be the nice guy and say get the fuji carbon fork. seems like the most quality thing offered to you so far. make sure it fits your frame.
that said, i don't understand why you want to trade. do you just want to bling out your bike and performance has nothing to do with the trade?
this was a hilarious thread to read though.

trade the white B43 for an anodized purple B43
Oh. The lockring is NJS? That changes everything.
i had a friend keep bragging about how he bought a dura-ace lockring from the LBS for cheap (LBS owner is known to be abrasive and will **** with you if you seem to be pretty uneducated with bikes..maybe hes on this forum) anyways, i looked at the lockring and of course it was not dura-ace but a complete generic. of course i didn't say a word.

Trade you wheel for cash. Cash is more useful than those other things listed.
The other things that people are offering you are crap anyway, except maybe the IRO wheelset...but that may be crap, too.
Remember, you don't HAVE to trade the B43 wheel. Ask for cash and wait for someone to come up with enough cash to buy it.
Relax.

I know this is really poorly done but I'm bored/had to. Some of y'all with real editing skillz and more time on your hands can fix this/make it bigger.
