    There is no need for the back or front on the street. People will try to tell you they are stronger and more aero but they are actually just a huge trend. Possibly the best way to waste your money. They are designed for track use and I am sure someone on here can give you all the details about why they are awesome on the track.

    nope. No stronger than any other rim. Actually probably worse. They are stiff as hell and when something does not give it has a tendency to crack or fail. They were not meant for street use. Laced wheels may not be as stiff but they have a bit of give. Plus you can true them. Once you bend a aerospoke that's it. Once again, someone could chime in with more info.

    you said pole hole homie, please learn how to type, for real its ridiculous

    I like pole holes waaaay more than pot holes.
    Like you could definitely put yer weener in both so I understand the mix-up.


    And yes Aerospokes for street use are just for looks, nothing more. Some girls buy shoes, some girls buy purses, girls here buy Aerospokes.

    I know if I had an aerospoke I would match it to my purse (european carry-all) and shoes.

    i think blowin cash is fun... motto of aerospokes... seems like they are all fashion no passion.

    It's because there are very few fixed gear Arrospoks out there.

    As much as I dislike aerospokes and thieves... I'd love to steal an aerospoke off a cops bike.

    i'd rather true a wheel every once in awhile (if necessary) than buy an aerospoke.

    on a side note my carbon/alum easton ec70 weights nothing, has a ton of miles on it now and is still perfectly true. i probably got it for 1/3rd the price of an aerospoke after trickster tax.
