he probably did ride off with a very buckled wheel,  as long as a spoke didnt puncture the innertube....

I always thought that was very misleading.

Post by: meticulous on November 11, 2012, 07:06 PM

the rim will return back to normal but the now bent spokes will hold it in a buckled state...

There's an awesome Z-Rim test by 'Trash Can' Morgan BMXA Sept 1980: http://oldschoolmags.com/bmx_action.html
ACS used some of the photos from that session for a double page ad in the December issue.

Bitd I reinacted that add on my mates bike and held it down in bent position 4 as long as i could  :uglystupid2: It snapped the hub, a few spokes and was totally unridable when I let it go  ;D He was furious  :2funny: but he asked me 2 do it   ::) rich daddy bought him a new set of wheels the next day  :tickedoff:

i thought the ad showed a bike jumping a ramp in a couple of shots then showing it land out of shape from behind it??

I had pretty rare Graphite Z's on ACS hubs (on my Redline MX2), I did this because of the advert and shattered the hub flange.
