Fully custom 92er

I got nothin'. I found this blowing around on the web and thought it was special.

29ers are big, but you could roll a curb with this thing and not even know it.

True the Wheels?

How many spokes on those wheels and how do you go about truing them??

seriously

Truly how would you go about truing those wheels? It looks like they have about 100 spokes apiece. No, I would not venture over a curb on them. Nor would I advise bunny hopping on this bike.

First of all...

Truing these wheels would actually be really easy. The large number of spokes just means that you have more points to tension, and each spoke could provide more stability to the structure.

Hopping this bike would be out of the question....for one it probably weighs a hundred or so pounds, secondly, the leverage to raise the front end is simply not there. You would more easily pull a wheelie in your car by jerking hard on the steering wheel.

BUT, the inertia you could store in those hoops...man you better have some killer brakes!

Not exactly aero

can you get those in a deep dish? How about a dsk for the rear? 'course the rider is'nt very aero sitting upright with his hands up by his eyeballs anyhow.
