don't be silly, everyone knows you can't use carbon in the rain.

shit i forgot it disolves

I've varnished it.

£80 per rim.

dibs the braking surface if you split

Jim reckons they'd be ok for brakless use, as they'd not have to deal with the stress imposed by the brake blocks turning kinetic energy into heat.

Any good for tricks?

Fuck, that's some serious cash. Did you re-mortgage for the craaabbbbonnnn or something Hippy?

I spend more time working now and less time posting about which wheels to buy. :)

Why don't we all chip in to cover the cost of the rims, build them up and 'sponser' 5th floor to test them (i only advocate this if they are definately unsafe).

My HK light came today, looks pretty much as I'd expect. Going to see if I can replace the rear lights mounting mechanism with an old cateye mount I have, as the one supplied is a bit shit.

Parcel Force would like £185 to return these rims to China.

Can anyone recommend a parcel service that would cost rather less?

Sell them for half price on the forum.

You think people would buy them?

Somebody will.

Na, he's got Zipp's.

Surely he must have zipps?

Start a thread. Hipsters will buy.

jesus. h. christ.... are you still whinging about this!?!?!

A. sell them to Dov.
B. send them back.
C. ride them.

make your mind up!

Mind made up, no whinge here- only thing open to debate is what to do with the rims currently at Brixton Cycles.

I paid £307 for all 4 rims, to save faff I would take £60 per rim if people want them.

Otherwise I will send them back.

Pity they're not 12k weave.

Give me 5 minutes with a permanent marker

For sale: Rims I believe are unsafe.
Cost: Nearly what I paid for them.
