Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Titus, ons wou zipps opsit, maar die goed wil nie pas
TitusTi Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 You get these really cool new tubby Mtb tyres, glue a set of those onto a 650c Zipp rim built onto a Hugi disc hub, anybody want to sponsor this experiment?
GoLefty!! Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 you get dedicated tubby MTB rims too you know...
TitusTi Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Yeah, but the young man wanted to build them with Zipps, you know how these roadies are. Chatted to Nino (Schuerter)Â about it and he reckons it's a *** idea, have to say I kinda agree.
GoLefty!! Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Zipps built up as MTB wheels?? Yah that is a pooh idea. They're not strong enough to cope with the abuse. Wilie has a set of MTB tubbies dangling from the ceiling. Pretty nice wheels but they'renot cheap.  definatley not CapeEpic proof.
Man with no name Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Like this, but upgraded to Mavic Crossmax SL Disc

Same thing really, and most of those cyclocross boys abus the ever living hell out of their equipment!
Fulmenicilus Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 AG JAAA! Kan maar net droom en drool oor al die nice masjiene hier!
TitusTi Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Is that a rusty chain I see? Very rusty in fact?

Â I believe that a certain SA based composites compnay is making aero tubby rims for the MTB fraternity... under the Zipp and Reynolds brand names

TitusTi Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006  looks heavy  Yeah, you know a bike's heavy when the rider tries to over-compensate by using carbon bottle cages.
