The only reason they went with that design I think is to lower the weight of the wheelset. If you want to kill yourself, they're a good pair of wheels to pick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-82134829712894347122009-09-01T13:25:35.668-04:002009-09-01T13:25:35.668-04:00Jeeze, is that Octane stuff supposed to be cycling...Jeeze, is that Octane stuff supposed to be cycling wear, or fetish wear? =OUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403695097675640092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13887692.post-15001903547434467292009-09-01T06:22:58.834-04:002009-09-01T06:22:58.834-04:00How the hell do you spot these things ... like the...How the hell do you spot these things ... like the flag?
