thats true, although, from what i could see, it looks like they were trying to kill that wheel....


this is what i was saying earlier, no wheels are designed to take that kind of abuse, some wheels are better at taking it, but no track specific wheels are 100% bomb-proof. some get close. if you run an aerospoke, you know what you're getting into, all track wheels will fail eventually if you ride them like a trials/bmx bike. but they're not gonna explode just by turning left.

I was just kidding. Although I guess the rim would survive if you hammered the spokes...

Either way, I was just kidding. I hate Aerospokes, but not for being fragile.

You paid $200 too much.

Actually I paid $200 shipped for mine, it's an old Specialized Tri Spoke though...

Tarckatina where yall get that deal? I look up on craigslist and people selling used spoks for new price. Is there a secret I would want to know?

I recently purchased two aerospoke rims. I purchased the front wheel first and after having the stocked rim switched out, I noticed the difference immediate. The bike took off faster and coasted longer. I came back to the bike shop the next day and purchased the rear wheel. I have a 21 speed road bike and after having the stocked rear wheel switched out for the aerospoke, I immediately went for a 17 mile bike ride. And I have to say that the money for the rims were well spent. The ride was much easier and I had no problems taking off. I am not a racier and I used mountain bikes my whole life. I recently purchased a road bike for the first time which is easier to ride around Chicago, but since switching to aerospoke rims, the ride has become a lot easier.


So my advice would be make sure your bike seat height is adjusted correctly along with the handle bars and make sure the gears are tight. I cannot speak on how aerospoke rims work on fixie's, but on my 21 speed road bike, they're perfect.

That lock tho!

No reason. I commented on another forum thread about "What's so bad with Aerospokes?" and the amount of hate I got towards supporting Aerospoke was simply unnecessary. So people just troll certain products. Kinda like Lebron James.

Is it okay if we make fun of people who answer questions that were asked seven years ago ... twice?

TejanoTrackie 

Or make fun of people who refer to wheels as "rims" ?

Kickstand and stem shifters go well with the Aerospokes.
