They're so bad the website won't even load on my phone......

No prang nor stick. Just cornering at Coomealla. Basically, there are so few spokes that if just one backs off then it loads up the others, knocks the tension out and allows the rim to twist just a little...and it's all down hill from there. Fortunately, the landscape of Sunraysia wasn't robust enough to fold them but now that I'm on sandstone...nope.
That basic design was the same as my trials bike rear wheel. Central rib with J spoke ends, straight pull from the hub joined midway to the rim. Rim had a single hole for the valve (and rimlocks) and nothing else, could run that down to 3psi and did without any failures. Bit more robust no doubt...

thanks for that, so the rim Is not able to be straight after that. That does sound problematic for me. May use them as wheels for the bike I have for sale.
The rear wheel that I have has had a solid whack and given it a decent dent and is still running straight, any other rim that I have flat spotted had to be trued. To be honest I think the problem seems to be side loading stress and not the ability to take a proper whack. Ol shredden seemed to have that problem as well.
I find it sad that people criticize something they have never had. Seems very wheelaphobic, who knows what else they are phobic about.
It's bloody sad people need to criticize anything that I buy whilst I just let them do their own thing without comment.
They can all get rooted because I'm getting a yeti 303 on the weekend. I guess I'm a fuckwit in some way for buying that as well.
Let the bagging start

Oh the rim is straight enough but the wheelbuilder couldn't get the lateral stiffness back to the same level and consistency of a traditional wheel and there is the odd flat spot. They're OK but other wheelsets I have are better...and noone is going to buy them off me! So they can go on the casual gravel roadie thing...

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Buying a Yeti 303 because people said nasty things about you is a bit like punching yourself in the face.
I hope you like meticulous cleaning after each ride.

I'll be honest, I just need a different bike hit.
Been waiting for about 3 weeks or so for the prophet to be posted. Starting to think I have been dudded.
