Aerospoke

basically it's an essential item to cross the hipster spice route, they bring good luck and help navigate the way through peds crossing on the green man.

I remember in November 2007 I was definitely going to have an Arrospok on my dream bike. Time is a healer.

Haha, you've seen the light.

Arrospoks are portals to hell and not in a "that's cool" way. Satan will eat your soul if you ride one.

Watching the news the other day, I noticed Frank Gardner is running a pimped up wheelchair.

I bet he's got Phil's on it too.

Do a skid, Frank.

The spok extends life. The spok expands consciousness. The spok is vital to hipster travel.

I'd never heard of them till I joined this forum. I assumed that they couldn't afford two and so bought the cheaper front option. But then I don't like unmatched wheels.

that hispter spice route still makes me laugh. love it.

It's all about that special whooshing sound you get from a trispoke on the front. Nuff said.

And that is the exact reason why I want to get a tri-spoke for the new *build/project/assembly/nut tightening time/sticking stuff together session :)

*delete where necessary

They look cool if you are into that look, but IMO since Fixed gears blew up they have begun pretty commonplace, and are bit of a cliche . . . On the right bike they can look great, but i mostly see them on totally inapropriate builds.

I used to have one, liked it, but TBH thought it was a thief magnet and sold it on. I bought it with no grand ideas that it would be off any performance enhancing use, but did find that once you got up to speed it did have the feeling of making it easier to maintain a high speed, but this could all have been in my head

HED Tri spoke FTW

.

Only in lavender or pine effect.

I read that it was so that you could sling your Krypto chain through the front wheel quickly to lock up. That's apparently why couriers started running them. Then fakengers caught on to the coolness.

This is all just from some journalistengers article.

Yes, this is one of the reasons why couriers become couriers instead of posties.

Due to decades of alcohol/substance abuse their hand/eye co-ordination is so poor, that they can't manage to post anything through a letter box. Handing a parcel over to a receptionist is obviously a less demanding task.

This is also carried over to their bikes. Posties run a traditional spoked wheel, while couriers have to run a tri-spoke or similar to make threading the chain or d-lock through the wheel easier.

can we replace the word hipster with " bandwagon jumpers " on this forum
hipster almost makes them sound like normal human beings rather than sheep following each other

anyone know the rear chainline?

You bloody haven't?

if i had, i wouldn't be bloody asking

You bloody might, given your well known wrenching skills. ;p
