Spoke card Faux Paux?

I'm interested in running Aerospokes front and rear.

Would I be ostricized for taping spoke cards to my aerosmokes?

tape will not work. You need to use gorilla glue, then clearcoat.

make several little slices the length of each aerospoke spoke and then slip your spokecards in 'em perpedicularly to the wheel.

then, take that biatch on to a body of water of your choice and race guys on jetskis and speedboats on you're new paddle bike.

so sick.

Fish in a barrel.

You're making it too easy, there is no satisfaction in mocking you.

Ps. '******' is a kinda crap thing to call people.

Sensibly yours

etc. etc.

oooh. maybe this is why poeple only run aerospokes in the front. They can still put spoke cards in the back. haha.

Yeah, you should only tape a card on there as a joke. Make sure you have enough street cred to pull it off though.

I think some wood-grained contact paper and a Brooks are what you really need. Screw consistency-- go for that ironic-retro-grouch thing.

i think the next wave of hot ridiculousness outta be acrylic components. i just wanna be able to say "my bike is the BC Rich of aerodynamics!"


seriously though, who here knows what about the strength of acrylic? i'm talkin' INVISIBLE SEATPOSTS here.

amaze your friends! astound your motorists!

werid. I just bought a bunch of this contact paper for my new apartment and all week, we have been talking about putting this on a bike and trying to sell it at the shop my roommate works at. we hadn't thought about putting it on an areospoke type wheel.

This is by far the best idea I've heard in a long time...although I would never use aerospokes.
