  • I think it would be funny and/or interesting to ride around on a retro MTB with a very cheap eBay tri-spoke

    Search for 559 trispokes instead :) There are a lot of Spin trispokes out there in 26"/559, probably more than there are 650C/571 clincher ones since racing on clinchers didn't come into fashion until 650C went out of fashion for normal sized people.

  • Yeah, but they have to be cheap; those are probably triple what I've spent on the rest of the bike! There's a lot of 650c tri-spokes around from youth bikes or track bikes that had a smaller front wheel and stuff, so I'm just wondering in case I spot a bargain in future.

    Edit: In terms of the price it looks like some of the 650c tri-spokes sold for under £100 which I'd maybe consider paying. Also I'm not tied to tri-spokes; a disk wheel would be even funnier considering what a piece of shit the bike is. And there's those absurd 5-spoke magnesium wheel-shaped-objects out there too.
