Post your Spinergy Rev X photos!
I see lots of post your XXX photos on here,
So I thought that I would see how many people on here still rock the Rev X.
They are old, but they are good and I love the design.
So, here are 2 of mine.
I have sold this Masi.
But rock this Klein now.

I still use my Rev X super stiff on my trainer. I got skeeved out after reading to many explosion stories and switched to Easton EA70s.

Best wheels ever. Ahead of their time.
Mine are old Team Saturn wheels that I bought at the end of '94. Use them on my 'cross bike. They still roll like silk. 17 years later.

just updating the thread.
I have reinforced my rev-x wheels a couple years ago and i am back into riding on my rev-x front wheel getting back into fixed gear again..
and my reinforcing instructions:
[mind you, back in 1996-2000, glue like this would have been quite hard to find and expensive epoxy types]

closed-cell expanding foam matrix has been used in a variety of applications for reinforcement..
i'd laugh at it too, but it does work.. documented failure mode of these wheels suggested where the spokes meet the hub, would actually collapse inwards towards the hub. What I have built up around the center of the hub will completely avoid that possibility.
I also reinforced the trusses of the x-braces and "V" area where the spokes meet the rim - negating any possibility that the rivets could crack etc.

Looks like you had the 4th gen hub, so no need for that crazy foam.
The early gen models used cir-clips to hold the center of the blades apart and therefore create spoke tension.
Same principle in Lightweights and other modern all carbon wheels.
They just use more smaller blades to meet the UCI requirement for multi rider start races.
I love the logic of one photo taken when they first came out and a few cases of failure on a website. There were over 400,000 sets made. How many reports are there? You do the risk analysis!
