wildbrian (Jul 17, 2009 at 19:46)

If I were him I would just wheelie to the finish line. haha In all seriousness that's why you don't try to run the lightest build possible for 4x. Or at least flimsy rims. Anyone know what rims those are btw?

frshortstufffr (Jul 21, 2009 at 20:59)

It looks like its just melted over the ground

DHBANSHEE (Jul 21, 2009 at 21:17)

You can't tell because it looks like he has a hubguard.

odin333 (Aug 10, 2009 at 21:01)

nah he is most likely running Roval wheels (specialized owns them). It looks like their Traversee wheelset (link)
