  • Neg stems are so hot right now but even after a year of pilates he still can't reach the risers without a massive stack of spacers

  • +1 for black flag sticker. -1 for rev-x

    that says a lot about aerosporks. spinergys are notorious for collapsing, which is why they are banned for racing.

  • isn't that V-L's?

    edit:no. he haz dart.

    Ouch :P

  • This is my inspiration for my Fort

    no, repeat failures.

  • Turns out was cause one properly fucked up someone kneecap.

  • There's quite a bit of misinformation about Rev-X out there, basically they were banned from mass-start events for which you require 16 or more spokes cos they only have 8.

    Since Spinergy were marketing this as a road racing wheel rather than a TT or pursuit wheel they stopped making them when the rules changed.

    There are plenty of stories of the ones with carbon circlips failing catastrophically, and I've also read somewhere that rev-X's failed a "UCI Rupture test" I don't know whether this is true, but it's irrelevant as I believe the rupture test is for massed start wheels with more than 16 spokes.
    If you are rocking rev-x's on your slave you want to have ones where the spoke tension is held with aluminium bits rather than carbon... early ones used carbon circlips to support the carbon blades, these are the ones that exploded. for later models they revised the hub and to a 3 piece aluminum design

    Any wheel of non-traditional construction with 16 or more spokes is subjected to the scrutiny of the UCI before it can be used for massed start events.
    These wheels are published here

  • ^ Thinking about it, the 16spoke rule may have come in after a rev-x-amputation!!
    There was a lot of talk about them chopping off body parts and slicing bidons in half back in the 90's when they were super popular.

  • ^^I was going to post this but I forgot the word "circlip".

  • ^ I take it yours is a "safe" one...

  • Probably didn't bung the UCI enough.

  • ^^Yeah, considering the way I ride I made sure to do some research before buying it. It has survived plenty of abuse.

  • Stunning
    more pron than salve if you ask me!

  • Can you use brakes on campag pista rims? Is the rim thick enough?

  • That photo of the sparkly wishbones make me wish I'd had the money for a Mielec. Definitely in for next times.

  • It has survived plenty of abuse.

    theo skidded on his bike while rev was on the front. twice.

  • holy shitballs

  • ^^Yeah, considering the way I ride I made sure to do some research before buying it. It has survived plenty of abuse.

    I crashed mine off the deep end of the redbull mini drome the other year, I bent the skewer but the wheel itself is still perfectly sound

    sell the wheels, buy 4.

    doesn't make enough sense for porn.

    makes loads of sense in here.
