Cool

Yes, it looks interesting.
Patent 2012.
Has marketed it to major manufacturers.
He thinks the best way to bring it to market is word of mouth.
These are not freely available to buy.
They have not changed the world of cycling.
He rides a mountain bike, there's clearly something wrong with him.

 

[Bill Boddy]

Especially the last line.

 

[Titch]

Well if he does a few thousand miles on them, all in one trip, who knows. Get out there young man, and impress us.

 

[gethinceri]

He's had over four ****ing years! He's a ****ing delusional nitwit.

 

[Bill Boddy]

I suspect that he isa being blocked by the spoke manufacturers, they obviously have a vested interest in this. I remember getting off the train at Salzburg, collecting my bike and thinking shit, there's a spoke broken; fortunately I had spares.

As someone who avoids potholes and doesn't do off-road any more I cannot see any advantage in it; why is it only on the front wheel, I can see there being problems with having it on the driven wheel.

I'm cowering in the corner now. Afraid of the wrath of gethinceri .

 

[Bill Boddy]

He'll set his Welsh dragon on you.

 

[Titch]

That's what worries me.

I was brought up believing Welsh dragons were cute, like this one.

 

[Titch]

Oh dear FB you have no idea about Welsh dragons.

 

[Bill Boddy]

Agreed Titch, they usually look more like:

So how many miles do you ride on your bike each year? I seem to remember doing seven or eight thousand which is a bit less than this:

[gethinceri]

Not so many in 2016 Bill Boddy maybe 3,000 miles.
Slipped a 100km ride in today.

[The Pits]

Yes, i looooovvvveeee Rhigos, fantastic climb, and somr beautiful views. Devils elbow is a **** of of a hill! It breaks the rhythm of a ride, and shakes things up which i liked. Must be cold up the top yhough!!

 

[gethinceri]

No mate, it was lovely and still today and about 6 celsius, perfect for that route. My first time up Devil's Elbow, been down it a few times, the bike was making some very strange noises from the bearings!
