  • its not that bad commuting on a trispoke i did it for about 6 months, i rode with it on pretty much 24/7
    now i dont have it anymore i really notice the differences, which is mainly now, without the trispoke i dont get thrown about by the wind and dont feel the wind half as much, but i miss its nice whurr-ing, i didnt get any more punctures then a clincher(it was a tub) and changing a tub is not too bad if you use the tape not glue.
    the trispoke was fairly strong i was never worried about breaking it and i dropped a fair few times with it on and it didnt get any structural damage so i think its not that bad an idea as it looks well nice.

  • But you left out the bit about you breaking the bearings lol ;)

  • yea but i also left out i was riding a rear as a front which had been cut down and had lots of prior use, and the fact i didnt just commute i fucked around on it alot

  • i have been thinking about this for about a month now... so is the general consensus a big fat NO?

    No, the general consensus seems to be FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF!!

    Kyle, no offence, but I wouldn't take ANY bicycle related advice from you ever, after watching you cycle into a wall with a trispoke to do an endo, then jumping down some steps. You're insane!!!

  • In that case we should ban asm immediately. There's no call for that kind of respectable posting, that actually provides a well thought out and reasonable answer to the OP's original question, around these parts.

    Sheesh!

    ;)

    Excellent piece of thread hi-jacking

  • i try. i really do try.

  • Can we ban Hippy for posting a pic of a car?

  • Not unless you want to be laughed at by the same shoppers that crash their trolleys into your nice paintwork..

    I have one bike at the moment, I want to ride it all the time. I like it, may not be perfect, may get mashed, but what the hell.
