Notorious Rims

Really glad I don't live in London sometimes.

I'm not disputing that they're charging more for the same thing - just saying that you're getting a few benifits, which given the overall outlay actually might be worth it.http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=2&pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336527178&customid=&item=180858698502&mpt=438079

Tis a good point.

Can we jut let this thread die please... no good has come of it so far

WTFing shite is this?

Is it even allowed to rip-off other wheel designs like this?

K... just seen them for sale at BLB.
Sorta makes sense.

The notorious copy hed3 looks awful and the way the valve goes through is crap compared to the real mccoy!

I wonder how that blb 05 compares to the iO - performance wise,
price point is pretty low compared to it.

i was hoping somebody will point to the original chinese manufacturer here

That's a different design. The BLB one is more like the iO. I went and had a look at the Notorious one - it's very light and I'd really like to get one just for posing around, but I'm not prepared to pay anything near £600.

But how do they cope with the awesome force of a whip skid on a dry road.......?

BLB's are clinchers and farsports are tubulars.

I too would use one if the price were half of what they charge wich would still be expensive but not blb expensive .

They will disintegrate under the enormous forces generated by the average fixie skidder's mighty thighs.

The BLB trispokes and 5 spokes don't even begin to compare the competition, they don't even have an airfoil. Dunno if I'd trust full carbon clinchers anyway.
