Not as soft as crank bros wheels thoWell damn, I thought his daughter was a unicyclist. Time for some of you fellas to get a sack of drinking concrete.
Never realized how soft some of you rotorburnians were.
Rotorburnian, melbournian, says it all

I'm surprised you fellas don't remember the days of taking roadies into the bush. When next in SA I will photo some of the downhill we used to do as kids on roadies. Buckled wheels but not taco, maybe I'm smoother than I realized.
Back in those days it wasn't called downhill it was just called "fark, why did I try this "

We're you even old enough to live that lifestyle, they were great times though

Almost. The Goodies ‘Punky Business’ was my first experience of Punk in about 1978. I didn’t understand it, but I loved it, and it definitely had a permanent influence on me. Also, fuck CB wheels.

Not with CB wheels if you weigh more than an average malnourished jockey

So what you are saying to me is to use my $217 carbon wheels for any DH or freeride stuff and save the cb wheels for posing value

has some good things to say
Whilst I don't have any...I do have a Cobalt wheelset. The only part of the spoke that I have broken is not the anodised aluminium section but the short steel section...which can be replaced with a shortened straight pull spoke and a spoke washer.
The other thing worth noting is that because of the way these things were made (and this goes for most low spoke count wheels in my experience)...once one spoke goes, they are basically decorative because there's not much redundancy (part of the reason why Shredden's wheel collapsed). I spent a hundred and fifty on mine getting them sorted by XLR8 Wheels at Lennox Head after one of the spokes failed (replaced all the short sections on the drive side) but they never got back to the same lateral stiffness in cornering due to the twist/wobble put in the rim whilst riding it busted. They've been retired for a while but I may put them on the DirtRoadie for a giggle...they'll be fine for that.

Damn, that sucks. That concerns me more than the possibility of them folding, I am the same and would chase a fix that may be substandard. I may have to rethink actually using them. Did you do any major prang to break a spoke or just a stick through them
They are still making them! Whyyyy....

Because there’s still people who incredibly don’t know better.

They are just leftovers from a decade ago. They machined Boost axles for them.

They would have made millions for warranty replacement. People just binned theirs rather than replace, so there’s a glut.

I have a set of the gold ones on the bike I built for a (no longer) special lady quite a while ago. They look great and performed their job well...riding to cafes and other recreational pursuits around town. Once I had to borrow the bike for a day of off road guiding. I didn't feel I could trust it at all.

Because they look cool. A lot of us don't believe the hype

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
These have to be up there as some of the worst oem wheels ever. Even worse then low cost 24 spoke Shimano road wheels.
