Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Should I?

Should I buy this wheel?

Maybe Aerospoke is cooler?

Those wheels are notorious for their catastrophic failures,
which is why they're no longer manufactured.

I thought it was UCI regulations and the cost of manufacture/ weight.

out of all the aerospoke looking wheels, those ones look like they were taken off of professor x's wheel chair. that's why they're cooler than the rest
