Not mine…

<p>A change of plans here means I’m thinning out my collection.</p><br /><p>This is an NOS Tioga disc drive pro, that’s been lightly assembled onto an NOS Mavic 231 CD and Shimano XT hub. All of the 3 items that make up the wheel have never been ridden. The rim has never even had a tyre mounted...

These have become the new white Porcs..

Nice though.

Terrible to ride I hear. There was a reason they didn’t catch on I guess.

They rode great for what they were made for ... competition. 1989-1993. Just became obsolete with suspension coming up.

96 meters of Kevlar rope. I have had many, now I have several, I use them and also repair them. Without a doubt, it is the most striking rear wheel in the history of the mtb. They need love, and a slight adjustment at every exit.

Although I've never heard one...I'd imagine they sound like the flapping wings of a teradactyl.....not that I've heard one of those recently.
What are the ride characteristics?
