Would you guys buy/ride a disc that is that old? It’s mint condition externally but As I understand it they are filled with a foam substance - would this break down over time and reduce structural integrity do you think?
i do have a habit of over thinking equipment durability as a heavier rider ( 100kg at the moment).
Why not ask your question to Zip?
In the aerospace industry foam materials are often used as a manufacturing aid and removed before flight - at least in filament wound structures. I doubt foam adds any structural strength to your wheel.
