Review: Atomik's BERD XC33 Wheels Use Spokes That Look Like String

I have déjà vu... :) My SPINERGY Fall Line back in 2006 looked cool but were far from reliable. I remember one day all noodle spokes got so loose that my hub became VPP ;) Since I didn't have dedicated spoke tool I used a pen (sic!) to tension them just enough to get home... You had to remove tires, tubes and wheel tape to properly true them with 2 dedicated tools and a tension meter was a must. Good times ;) https://m.pinkbike.com/photo/510942/ https://m.pinkbike.com/photo/509577/ https://m.pinkbike.com/photo/509579/ https://m.pinkbike.com/photo/8585500/ https://m.pinkbike.com/photo/542699/

Must Watch: One Last Session Before the Demolition of These Jumps in Austria

Being a builder and philosophy graduate myself, I have mixed feelings after reading this article... First, "nature protected reserve" and "thousands of nails and screws" doesn't really sound right. Then, throwing few quotes of Aristotle and Kant makes me even more confused...
