This is a cracking review, cheers Dave. They get a 10 on looks from me, they sort of remind me of how I felt about Skyway Mags back in the 80’s…awesome! I’m not sure I’d put them in a drop bar bike, but I so would put these on a flat bar bike.

Same here ref skyways used to love bmx freestyle 😊 had many bikes back in the day 🚴🤩👍🏅

Pretty ride Dave thanks. I think the wheels look fire to be honest. Thanks for the b-rolls so we could see them in action. 5:17 Quite agree. On that note I LOVE my hybrid. It is sorta a sleeper.

Some great camera work, your production team are obviously on the boil. I like those wheels, I see easy to clean!

🤣thank you. They really are super easy to clean.

I have to say, for £1,200 ,I'd like 10/10 - and that's definitely out there! As a child of the 80's, I am most disappointed that you didn't mention Skyway Tuffs - the icon of 5 spoke wheels! (Rock on Andy Ruffel! Remember the Ruffel-up?) This sort of proves to me that something that ain't broke ain't ready for fixing yet, and there hasn't been a revolution - they look quirky but aren't really a wheel revolution 🤭😬but it's nice that people are still trying to innovate - something must come of it! I wonder if the "spokes" create more of a vortex and wind resistance than traditional spokes?

Ohhh that’s a classic!

I have been looking at those wheels for a while for my gravel bike. For the price, they are reasonably light. The looks are different. If you run them, you have to not mind standing out.

I’ve been dead impressed with them!

Dave, could you please tell me what your bars are and what width they are ? Thanks mate 👍

They are Renthal fat bars, they are pretty short…I cut a large bit off.

Any idea if the included mudguard for that fork will still fit with those wider tyres? Clearance looks tight. Would like to try the wider tyres but don't want to sacrifice the mudguard.

No way would the mudguard fit with the bigger tyre.

Yes, look cool... not for me though... rim brakes! But how do they sound? Do they make a cool noise like the try spokes?

@DaveNoakes

The hub sounds awesome but there isn’t that whooshing Tri spoke noise

is there any way for you to weigh these without the tires or anything else mounted to them? I would love to get an actual weight of these wheels documented. I just don't trust the manufacturers numbers. thanks!

i also liked the spengle wheels

Love your bike and the wheels!! I too get the silent treatment from ‘serious’ cyclists when i commute on my hybrid bike- they don’t know what they are missing🤣🤣🤣🤘🏼🤘🏼

Random question, but what happened to the ‘Welcome to you old subs, you new subs and if you’ve not subbed, sub’ intros? Kinda miss them 🤷🏼‍♂️
