Wanted: Aerospoke

Ha. Good detective work Inspector El Squire! I am gonna hopefully unscrew the block and slip it on the front. Otherwise it will have to become part of a ss project. What a sucker I am!!! Yipeee.

Fair play sir, Spoks aren't my cup of tea but each to their own, enjoy!

but slagging them off is also good fun.

it's just a fucking wheel!!!

That's heavy, flexes loads and isn't aero. Good job it looks like a BMX mag wheel then, innit

Each to their own though

The only reason people slag it off is over it's popularity amongst the hipster types riding them. It's almost like it's cool to hate them. They aint bad wheels, they're strong and yeah, they look fucking good. So what? Anyway, check this...http://populationpaste.com/img/2006/05/tmnt/tmntmovie.mov

that is the funniest thing i've seen in a while.

also on the spok thing - the great thing about them is that they already are the cheap version of aero-wheels so, unlike deep-v's, where not going to see rip off versions on unipacks!

any luck finding an arrospok? i am thinking of selling my trispoke, any interested parties hit me up with a PM.

Wanna swap for a spok? It's blue. It'll make you go loads slower. It's cooler than letting your tires down for resistance training! :)

Ha!

What is it with people slagging off aerospokes!? Fair enough, people (or should I say "hipsters") buy them for their aesthetics, big deal, but bitching about them on a forum is far more pathetic and quite frankly, ridiculous.

Point-of-the-internet fail.

How you finding your new rear Spok, Mr. Bopsa?

£58.50 for an aerospoke. You can't even get a unipak for that. Your fighting-talk attempt fail.

What you don't realise is that man with yellow boots is the one getting owned, as the other man is actually eating him. This picture was taken as he shook the guy violently like a dog, to kill him, before eating him whole like a boa constrictor.

Spokes are fashion over function right? I laugh at them just like I laugh at the 18 yr old boy racer who has an aerofoil and go faster stripes on his Ford Fiesta

So your clothes are all plain,unbranded and purely for the purpose of keeping your body warm, right?

No and my bar tape matches my saddle colour - I appreciate asthetics, fashion the lot. But I had to buy tape anyway and thought white would look nice. It's quite different to buying an aerospoke or putting a whaletail on a Fiat Uno. I'm not trying to be argumentative but do you see what I mean?

Your argument would seem to imply aerospokes are non-functional as wheels...
Everybody needs wheels, so if they think aerospokes look better than what else is on offer and they have the money to spend on it what's the problem?

Gee, Rapha is expensive isn't it?
Aerospokes are only for looks.
Clipless pedals are what real cyclists would use.
Risers are for plonkers.
Track bikes are for the track.
NJS parts are better than any other sort of part.
On and on it goes.... ..... ....... . . . . . . . . . . . ... . .... . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .....................................

this made me laugh.

Simile fail.

Take the Aerospoke away and the bike no longer has a wheel.
Take the whale tail away and the Fiat Uno probably performs better.

It could be argued that aerospokkes are not a standard fitment to any bikes.. that I know of anyway.

Each to their own and all that. I'm sure it's a tired argument that's been done over and over. It's just that you'd have to pay me a lot of money to even get on one of those bikes. Clearly in Hackney too much masturbation has gone on over Americans in MASH videos and everyone down my road wants to look like them.

lets all just roll on raleigh lizards

Hey - I'm starting to sound bitter, people are more important than the wheels they ride. What's a Raleigh Lizard?
