Whats with the cards in the spokes
 
I'm a fan of individuality and peronal fashion statements, but I just don't get the cards in the wheels. Where did it come from and...uhh...what the hell?

barba 04-16-08 07:00 PM

Just search for "spoke card".

deathhare 04-16-08 07:01 PM

From Latino gangs. They did in in prison...brought it to the streets later.

fetch 04-16-08 07:01 PM

deathhare 04-16-08 07:02 PM

Those are notes from lost loves. We're sensitive.

sdge 04-16-08 07:02 PM

Confirmed kills.

jellis 04-16-08 07:03 PM

wow. from gangbangers to love letters. You guys just pretty much covered the spectrum.

I heard each card represents each behymen the owner has broken.

Print these out, insert in spokes. You're now a cool kid :D

Peedtm 04-16-08 07:11 PM

I actually stick all of my bike parts receipts in there so everyone knows how L33T I am.

Hey guys, can I put a brake on a fixed gear? Whats the best tire for skidding? Can I convert this bike? I want to get a sick lugged vintage track frame for $200 bucks, where can I get one? What are those cool wheels with 5 spokes called? Why do you guys ride those stupid bikes anyway?

jgarcia186 04-16-08 10:08 PM

/\ break

pirate 04-16-08 10:09 PM

Oops. I forgot "what peddles should i get?" too.

tx_what_it_do 04-16-08 10:16 PM

really though i'd like to know the best tires for skids

Peedtm 04-16-08 10:38 PM

Soma Everwears is the consensus. Plus as a bonus, they come in colors.


*I don't skid

pirate 04-16-08 11:15 PM

soma everwears suck and fall apart before you skid thru, allegedly

its all about GaToRsKiNz

you forgot the most important one

why are all those cats on geared bikes so fakkin slow?

VT tallbike 04-17-08 12:01 PM

I always thought the cards were modern replacements for those reflector things that used to come on wheels. What ever happened to those, and can you integrate them into an arrospoke?

jdms mvp 04-17-08 12:05 PM

i put bicycle playing cards in my spokes because i like to make funnies

Just get some clear packing tape and wrap the tape around the spoke and reflector. The tape makes it aero.
