Solid wheels for a fixie

I'm hoping someone can help, i'm looking for plastic wheels for my fixie. can't afford carbon disks so i thought that plastic would be ideal. have seen some guys with them on and i think they're 5 spoke.

Any ideas where to get them or who makes them....
Cheers

Hi Torpid...

Hi Torpid...

The only five spoked wheel I can think of is called an Aerospoke. They make these wheels out of Carbon. The Carbon wheel is laced to a velocity rim. I'd steer clear from buying a plastic spoked wheel, for it would be way to heavy than it's worth.

Muggins!

I think these would look 'rad'!

plastic gets soft when hot and bends more too, especially in this weather. Not good me thinks..

you wan arrospok? fiddy dorah and hand job get you arrospok

an aerospoke is carbon composite rather than carbon fibre.

= plastic

= not carbon fibre

plastic is ideal for lots of things but not road bike wheels
over 100 years of research and development has brought you extruded aluminium rims, brass nipples and stainless steel spokes.
have you considered using these?

or are you racing at the velodrome or time trialling competatively?

don't tell me is him.....

the original post man came and went, and pooooof there was no mention of plastic wheels no more....
ahh the relief :)

I reccomend the DIY approach.

What you need is some sticky back plastic, 10 washing up liquid bottles and some cable trunking...

Hi Torpid...

You actually think I want an arrospok??!

But maybe you can help me.

Whats with the increase in gay bikes in London at the moment?

it's obvious, more gays = more gay bikes

boris will put a stop to it though.

Well if you look at fashion (clothes) over the last few years then maybe its not that the people are actually gay. Many of the clothes designers and make up artists are that way inclined and those at the top have a huge influence over what trickles down to the main stream. *I had to endure living with a fashion designer for 2 years. *Basically you now have a situation where both st8 and gay guys are dressed in a very gay way, including hair styles. Lots of eye candy for those of a certain persuasion. And now we have gay bikes!!

You're right. Its, like, totally a conspiracy.
