when did they start making surfboards out of CF? maybe i missed something but aren't they basically wood, styrofoam and fiberglass? with occasional plastic and metal bits to attach fins and leashes and whatnot?

they do. they make skimboards out of cf too.

Just make a disk cover. Any first attempt is going to be a peice of **** one way or another. If you must pust some cf on it for bling when it's spinning noone will know the difference and it will be easier to fix when you realize what a monumentally stupid idea riding around on a disk is.

Disk wheels are useful only in non-wind conditions: the track or short, flat time trial courses. And only if you plan on riding flat out. In city traffic, they would be worse than useless, a heavy anchor to drag from one intersection to the next.



In a time trial in the Coor's Classic back in the 80's, they used disk wheels on the FRONT, too. Dangerous. I've never seen that done since.

i ride a disc wheel on my roadbike on the street even on windy days. if ur that light that the wind is knocking u over because of ur disc u shouldnt be riding. wind+disc+cityriding is not dangerous. that is a myth get a disc and ride it in the street thats the only way you'll know

too expensive to ride on the streets, with no possibility of locking them up.

have locking axle skewers got an old cheap one still true

can you say resin swirls?! then make me a 5'5" fish. thanx.

That is the idiocy of the week! Congratulations!
Why on earth shouldn't light people be riding? All the best hill climbers are light... Pantani shouldn't have been riding or what?

I'm struggling in crosswinds w/ a normal mid rim... with a disk, I'd be flying, not riding.

i kinda want to make one just for the purpose of making one. n for the large surface to paint on. and ken, my friends dad is the man when it comes to making fishes. hanel surfboards. n yeah you can get a crazy swirl in the glass if you want.

They still do for indoor kilo events.

Whatever man. Chicks love disc wheels.
