What the heck is up with the whole fixie hipster formulaic build anyway? I mean why does every hipster either have a Deep-V wheelset or an Aerospoke front and B43 rear?

If the tandem community was so formulaic, I would so make fun of all your bikes.

That being said, my secret shame is wanting a set of tandem Aerospoke wheels. Why did they ever stop making those?

Have you seen the pics of the hipster trick crowd when they destroy Aerospoke wheels? The hob completely disintegrates from the wheel. Not pretty. Think R-SYS bad, but in the middle of some bike on a handrail type trick. No time for a hairnet!
