That's Fraud.

Yes, I've ridden Merida Factory Bikes. Quite a Few. I wish that your business continues to flourish.

You are being disrespectful.

So you get these Super Light Rims Where you save a Few Grams over Alu. Then you have to Add at Least 830 Grams Worth of Tyre and 125 Grams of Sealant. A bad Sidewall Puncture at Speed in a rocky environment and your rims are toast. (Ask Amy). Does Anyone Actually buy these Rims ?

Cup and Cone is Still Widely Used Today on 29er Wheels
