    Want.

    3.75" wide, too. Splits the difference between RDs an Clownshoe...

    Now all I need is more money in my fatbike piggybank.

    I've just started a business selling holes for fatbike rims. Just send me $100 and I'll send you a bag of them airmail.

    Much betterer than those Rolf wheels, and combined with a generous dose of special Druidh NO2 Tyre Expander you're guaranteed a good laugh at the skinny wheel tribe.

    Nice, will make these even lighter. Are you sure they'll work with carbon rims? How do they mount - adhesive?

    Great weight-saving idea.

    I bet those things catch a crosswind like mad crazy. Riding with 3.8s and RDs in the country or gravel on a windy day already feels like suicide!

    I wonder if they did any side wind tests in the wind tunnel.

    "... proven in the wind tunnel to optimize its aerodynamic properties at typical fat bike speeds, around 6 mph."

    I predict these will work well with the fatbike-specific "Righty" forks coming next year from C-dale.
    weird how the political climate can change companies' design parameters...



    MCS: just noticed the date now huh?
