Thanks for the wheel/dish answer MDCC. I am unable to rep you at the moment.
Here is a question the forum will enjoy.
What is wrong with Aerospokes? I've just had a look at one in person for the first time.
Everybody says they are heavy but in reality they aren't much heavier than any other cheapish aero wheel. They must be bullet proof because so many of them are knocking around...5th or 6th hand.
As far as I can tell, these are the reasons that are possibly left:
1) People are snobby about them because of the hipster image
2) They are too flexible (haven't riden one so I don't know)
3) They aren't very aero.
So whats the score? Why the bad rep? They seem like bullet proof cheap wheels to me.
