MyFavoriteDisease on August 31, 2025 2:13 am I did that once. Sides of rim are good for about 20 miles until worn away.
bigl3g on August 31, 2025 2:21 am While I worked at a shop there was a wheel recall where we had to destroy the rim and send in a section of it as proof of destruction. Before chopping up a set I put them on my own bike with no tires and went for a parking lot spin. Very ridable, better in corners than I expected, and skidding left neat aluminum skid marks. Lots of vibration but not very loud. If you are going to junk a wheel, why not have fun first?

The best bike to ride is the one you have.

The front fell off.
That man means business
Probably just a quick trip to the LBS to buy a tube and tire…
Pro move by saving few hundred grams and being more aero
At least he’s got shock forks 🫡
Straight gangster

“Dad, what’s a rimjob?”
We thought bigger tires were more aero. Wrong.
For the love of the game
Life can be rough from time to time.
Is that Trevor from GTA.
