DMH Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 So I'd bought this SS bike off the Hub last year. Had a 26" carbon rear wheel. Turns out it's a rare SPIN MTB wheel from the 90s. Thought it may look very nice on this baby. But it'd have to be the front (rear is a 24") . So it would need a machinist. Before I go down that road, I want to make sure it'll gel well. So I just did a basic mount. That's how she looks. Any thoughts?
Skylark Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 If you had a set then yes but to me it looks a bit unbalanced having only one at the front, sell it to fund the rest of the upgrades!
Guest notmyname Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 That saxxy beast needs wheels with spokes. Lots of spokes.

DMH Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Yup indeed - asymmetry can look supercool, and this carbon wheel had looked killa as the rear on the SS but just not gelling as the front on this beast. Unfortunately. The creator of the frame, Vinorus, said maybe black (pref. bladed) spokes on the rear wheel may work with this wheel.. But that's an expensive experiment - that may not work. Yeh I do like the lots of spokes too - will keep that on the burner.. and leave this carbon wheel as a rear on another build..
