I think I'll pass on them. There, that's my thought.

And this is before you've put the tubes and tires on. They weigh a ton.

Just say NO!

Then GO!

And TELL!

Being molested by bad plastic wheels isn't fun or cool. Please tell somebody you trust, and they can make the abuse stop.

They are butt ugly, but looks is their best attribute.

Rev X Rocks. I remember those. Heavy and not too durable. Spinergy decided against those and went with a zircal (or something like that) spoke that was supposedly 3x's stronger than steel.

I always liked the way they looked, but was too chicken to ever ride them.

So, they absorb shock but prevent rebound? I wouldn't believe this if the seller didn't say they were made of aluminum. Who wants a tacoed wheel every time they hit a bump?
