Polo Wheels (Tyres, Spokes & Rims)

I don't think the material that nipples are made out of matters. So long as they're hard and you can tweak them all is fine ;)

Paging Rob, paging rob to the nipples-joke-thread

He loves it when I touch them.

You called?

repost all of your facebook updates about nipples please.

they brightened up my day

They were all futile, I am going replace my nipples anyway.

What with? Buttons?

Other nipples, I keep a box or 2 of them from various sources.

anyone have a good recommendation for a white tyre (for an indoor tournament)
26", ideally something as similar as possible to the folding 1.35 Kojak (smooth and light, puncture protection isn't important).

white in 26"? Only thing I can think of is the Schwalbe Fat Frank but it's like 900g.

weighs less than a halo twin rail probably

There are these on ebay, no idea what they would be like though.

So once again, all I have proved is that alloy nipples suck balls and you should never use them. Brass ftw.

cough

I know this isn't the right thread, but I can't find the polo parts list anywhere.

Any recommendations for brake pads?? Mine are trashed from all the crap and rain at Mitch.

Koolstops are a polo favourite for V's I think?

Personally I prefer Swissstop.

Any particular model?

in the rules section of imperia tourney3 it was mentioned that white tires and schwalbe kojaks are both accepted as,according to the manufacturer's announcement,kojaks are non-marking.

Just like Koolstops but a quarter the price...

I laced up a sub 700g front wheel for polo this morning. Tension, first-stress ride and retension tomorrow, test throwins Thursday.

Didn't see you playing on it though.

Also, I broke the fuck out of chan's valve earlier, looking forward to scoring bare goals though your wheels.

Anyone know how to shoot? Need bare tips.

Frankly I'm amazed in the improvement over the rims I used before, which needed truing after every polo session whether there were spoke/nipples missing or not! (These were XC717 36h).

I'm using xc717 with dt plain guage and don't have a problem with them. They're a tiny bit out on the rear after someone landed on them. What tension do you put your spokes up to? I've got a f/f track hub and they're all around 24/25 rear.
