COOLWALL TIME! Were snowflaked wheels COOL?

[stevet1]

does anyone remember what the supposed advantages where?

Thought they looked really cool back in the day but now......

No, no, no, NO!!!!!

So on a bike from 'back in the day'...

 

[BoyBurning]

Badgers nadgers! Think they're bloody ace! Have one on two of my bikes, and thinking of building a third - but might go radial on the next one...!

Note use of 'thought'.

They say confession is good for the soul....... well I too nearly wavered and ordered one but I'm soooo glad I didn't!

Radials? Now that's a different matter! Mmmmm, sexy!

Like radial, Not keen on snowflake. Middle ground.

Come on snowflakes were cool, well saying that I am speaking of back in the day when I used to have one of those plastic disk thingies that cover ur back wheel on my bmx cause it made a cool noise. I'd say definately cool back in the day maybe not so much now, but I think that depends on the bike if its on a suitable bike with a nice hub and rim why the hell not. I do have to say Radial lacing now I've grown up a bit looks way better though

I like them... wish my bike had cool wheels... wish my bike had ANY wheels... someone has mine on his bike ahem (ape) ahem.

Nope

 

[messiah]

Not bothered from me.

I would never use one unless I got it stupid cheap, but I'm glad other people still feel the urge.

It was a fad that came and went and it's nice to see some of them still kicking about.

Where does my two cross front wheel fit in this debate?

 

[Stick Legs]

2 cross is very cool, subtle yet different. Nice. Crows foot is also very nice as it is extremely difficult to build well.
