That being said, I'll admit to strongly considering a set of Velocity Halo rims for a while. There has to be at least a little safety benefit to glow in the dark if it actually works.

There is a fine line between porn and jackass. I stand by this falling in the latter.

All I see is a three spoke carbon wheel that can take a 3.8" Nate tire that won't get clogged full of wet snow, or need a funky build offset, and may actually shave weight compared to a standard fat tire wheel build.

I have no real data to back it up I just thought it was silly. That being said, I rode my first fat bike a week or so back and it was awesome.

Ok, i may get flamed for this one, but this frame is beautiful, but i HATE the crank and geared setup and modern brifters, etc etc. and then throw a leather saddle on there because why the hell not.

Let me say again the frame lugwork is cool.
