Spengle tri spoke MTB wheels

[dancaseyimages]

Anyone thinking of getting a set of these?
I have Skyway tuff's on my BMX and these look pretty sweet. 27.5 only at this stage.

Unique look, no spokes, maybe lighter than standard wheels?

They're expensive

Well they look cool AF but the inner width (not the diameter) is a bit small at 24mm. Surely people are gunna want wider rims...

Yeah they said there are more sizes coming, so hoping for wider and maybe a 26

Seems like it’s creating a worse solution for a problem that’s not there for triple the price.

I’m sure I read somewhere on the interwebs (probably from a dubious source) that the spoked bicycle wheel is up there amongst the highest strength to weight ratios of any man made structure.

Individuality will be the only thing going for it. Quite a few companies have tried to sell this type of thing. None of them have taken off.

Skyway Tuff II’s they ain’t.

This young lass has been raving about them - but guessing she didn't pay full retail...

Don't look at me. I'm already up to my eyeballs in wheelsets.

I also feel like I should point out that everyone with a high end Yeti/S-works/Nicolai/Geomotron/Rocky Mountain has a more expensive bike than me.

Not on a per km basis

Carbon fibre has come a long way since this (not mine) but they seem just as pointless now.

Boom

Haha PB comments always deliver: "It makes total sense. Finally, a set of wheels with room for water bottle mounts."

Do air miles count?

It's like the roadie crowd have well and truly gotten comfortable with MTB and now they are extending and invitation to the tri folks?
