Honestly, how bad are Aerospoke wheels?

I broke the holy grail. Put one on a POS Bigshot. Fail. Not only did I put it on there, I took the stickers off and sprayed it with Plasti-Dip! Sold the bike and the wheel. Guy is rocking it on a purple Leader 725. Actually looks good on there.

I used mountain bikes all my life and I recently purchased a 21 speed road bike. I replaced my front stock rim with a aerospoke. Immediately after replacing the rim, I noticed the difference. My take offs were faster and coasting was longer. I came back to the bike shop and got the rear rim replaced the next day. After having that rim replaced, I went on a 17 mile bike ride. Riding on those rims are so easy and smoother. I don't understand the beef with Aerospokes. I'm not sure how they work on a fixie, but on my 21 speed, they're perfect.

Not sure if I understand what the problem is. So far I managed to put 200 miles on the bike already throughout the city of Chicago and I haven't had any problems with the rims. I haven't had any problems with uphill climbs and got speeds of 30+ mph on downhills. So what if Walmart sells the bike. I saw the bike on the Genesis Website and they suggested buying it from Walmart. So, where I got it doesn't matter. The bike performs perfectly. Btw, since I've been riding around, I got 4 cash offers from people who wanted to buy the bike. Simply hate for no reason.

Also, I call BS on both of your posts. That is all.

I ordered matching bar tape but it's on backorder from Victoria's Secret.
