Title: Cool wheel
Post by: blue05twin on November 06, 2006, 11:34:51 AM
Man I really like this wheel.  Hmmm should get a set anodized blue and stick it on the GS.

Rotational inertia would be through the roof!  Also, even if that person was spinning the wheel lightly, it must have crazy friction because it stops almost imediately.  If I spin any of my motorcycles' wheels even lightly they'll keep on spinnin' till the cows come home!  (I'm trying to sound more like a Kansan...)

Neat for a show bike...

yeah those things have to weight a metric butt ton.  they do look neat though, esp the iris one...

That is awesome.

I'd be afraid of junk (dirt, sand, etc...) getting into the gears.

that wheel is awesome, wouldnt want one though unless it was on a show bike, I could just see that wheel coming apart at speed and shooting ninja stars every which way.

This wheel totaly flips out and kills people.  This wheel is both awesome and totaly sweet.
