Seem like a good for for his target market (folding bikes) and possibly cruiser bikes used on rail trails to give the old timers some extra cushion. But I don't think this would work for MTBg, those wheels would be way too flexy with the rim supported in only 3 places.

I try it.
Exactly what I was thinking. They're currently a little pricey ($760) for that market though.

You should just make that your signature so you don't have to keep asking him.

I might ride with him tonight and will ask him if I see it on the bike.

Thanks for the invite.......is this because I didn't invite you over for BBQ earlier this week?

That's one reason. All the rides are posted on Facebook now, you might need to log into the timmah account and join the groups.
Hey, don't be ruining my wheel thread with talk about MTB rides...

looks like they are trying to bring the drum brake back.
Yeah, I saw that. I wonder how the stopping power is?

Probably adds a good amount of weight too.
I don't see how it possibly couldn't.

Wonder if it will be available in a 29'er size.
