A friend is selling a set of spinergys and I've heard all bad things. Now I have also been told the final 4th gen of the wheel weren't going to explode.

they are fine. make sure the hub doesn't use carbon circlips to support the carbon blades, these are the ones that exploded.

The problem was that the clips hold the blades apart, being held apart gives the blades tension and keep the wheel stiff. Those clips failed, the blades loose their strength, wheel shatters, reputation gained.

They revised the hub and later editions are fine. You can tell because the hub has a 3 piece aluminum design that looks like this.

Remember, they sold these wheels for nearly 10 years of production, they produced thousands of them and there are only a handfull of horror stories that relate to the first design of the hub. Check out the review on Roadbikereview.com, people have ridden 1000's of miles on them with no troubles. If you can, get the extra stiffs as they are extra stiff.
Now I'm a total nub but I like my teeth, the picture in that link doesn't exist anymore. So how can I verify the wheels my mate are selling are sweet. And this is not some elaborate plot to get back at me since I called him fat in school

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
