There ya go.
Oh, and no, Queensland is like Florida, except in reverse, EXCEPT they think anyone from 'down south' is a Mexican, which implies that they think they're Californian, when really, that's the domain of the Sydneysiders.
Confused yet? I am. Especially with all this talk of faux g-strings. But then again, if your boobies are fake, and your tan is fake, fake underwear must be the next logical frontier.
Hey, I tried to steer the conversation back to riding, but look where that got us

Except they think anyone down south is a mexican, which implies they think they're califorian, whiich really means that's the domain of Sydnesiders? Except they think everyone is a chew toy, which implies they think they're are bears, which is really means that's the domain of animals with cainines.
Umm.... Now let's steer this back towards bikes... I think I rather ride with you then talk to you. Ouch!maybe that is too harsh.
Well, at least I"ve extended the useless nature of this thread.

It's maybe something to do with an adrenaline hit from too much red drink or sumpin?

He's a real nice bloke too and although he's currently on a bit of a steep learning curve, he does have some road nouse and you can be sure he won't dud you, not no way.
He does a pretty good deal too particularly as he's trying to establish his name in road biking. Rides a GT Ultra when he's not MTBik'n.

Seriously though, this design is novel, but it would be heavier and obviously requires more parts than a 'regular' rim.
It's a tough sell especially when my tubeless wheels are Stans 350g ZTR rims, sealed by 10g of 3M tape and accomplishes the same job.
In 2001 I did a prototype MTB disc wheel that weighed under 600g with a similar rim design to what Gipiemme now uses - double cavity, with paired spokes and the rim CNC machined down to a single cavity design where there wasn't any spokes.
That's another solution someone seriously has to take a look at.
*edit*
Actually, Looks like Gipiemme already has, although they're heavy as.

Dean's my nephew and while he has been concentrating on MTB/BMX he is getting into road bikes, GT and Scott. I got my GTR1 from him earlier this year. Great bike.

how would those zvino's handle a bend? He reckons they are great for MTB riders. All those extra pieces, could you true it up if you bent the rim?
