What a Crime !!

[taffy]

What a waste.

that clock could have been put on something much better!

go and find a pic of a broken mountain bike wheel that wasnt driven over by a car........you wont find one.....a smear campaign by an american law firm and nothing more...it has been discussed many many times with no actual evidence.....that is why it was thrown out of court in the usa......

This one has a split in the rim:

This one on eBay has not been run over, it is broken:

Also, and the main point which we may be missing, they look shit.

Hate to bring it to your attention but they are NOT spinergy wheels

 

[Rod_Saetan]

Ha! I didnt even look at what wheel it was, just assumed SPIN.

Spinergy are actually 25% shitter though, thats Science.

Some broken clocks here:

This clock is mashed up yo:

 

[marin man]

Road bike wheel and a pic that has been bandied about for years mate......not a mtb wheel....

spins are nothing to do with spinergy and never have been.......and you forgot the immortal....'in my opinion'

I suppose you ride an apollo

 

[Rod_Saetan]

I am aware that SPIN is nothing to do with spinergy, I did not entertain the idea they were, however its not an opinion that they are shit, it is Science.

And yes, I ride an Apollo, bit it has normal wheels, so its automatically better than anything with SPINs or Spinergy on it.

Still wouldn't trust it not to break.

+1 am amazed that some pros even raced these back in the day.

Spin > Spinergy > Disk Drive > Spokes?

I am amazed as well but they did.....who was that woman that rode them for a few years.....missy :?

 

[FMJ]

anyway been riding them for years with no ill effects.

The discussion is about riding them off road, not on bikepaths.
