Would you ride this??

Everything has its day – eventually. The question is how do you know when that day has arrived?

Below should be, if I've figured out the image upload bit, a few sample pics of the offending item. Spin wheels, strong though they may be, must eventually hang up their hat.

Is that day upon me? Would you continue to ride this?

Well after looking at those pictures plus my thread on 'carbon wheeles' has convinced me that those type of wheels are for track bikes. And I'll be keeping with hub/spokes/rims wheels

Every rim has it's death day - fortunately this happened at low speed!

Looks like I'll be holding a retirement party for the old fella – before it ends up like JohnKiteman's. Dead lucky that was a slow failure, can only imagine what it would have been like if that let go on one of my local decents :shock:

A lesson to us all – keep an eye on yer walls

Hi,

NO!

Anytime i see a rim in that condition the image af my friends back pops into my head.
He had a wheel collapse at speed on a road section on a ride! The image of his skinless back is not something that i will ever forget.

Cheers,Al

It's a spin, so on principle & good taste grounds, no.
