[Closed] Rate My Wheels

They don’t match.

They.
Don’t.
Match.

*Goes for a lie down*

They don’t match.

They may match his costume, or eye color, or something.

Valves and tyre logos not aligned. Major infraction.

You monster!!

Is this your new riding kit?

so people actually do buy skin walls?

Not sure about that colorway.

I'd just like to thank STW.. This thread has properly made me laugh.

It's a yes from me.

But otoh Ibexes are just rubbish highrollers and what sort of a name is svelt?

Wheels..... Cool.
Tyres...... No.

Class I knew stw would tell it as it is 🙂

I’m a sucker for a skinwall they might be horrendous but they look good(to my very bad eyes)

They are the onza equivalent to my current Nobby Nic/Racing Ralph combo I hope !!

Valves and tyre logos not aligned. Major infraction.

Christ, I hadn’t even noticed that.

OP, what mismatching monstrosity will you be ruining further with those things?

Brilliant!!

The wheels and tyres are the subtle bits 🙂

You might want to look at some protective cover patches for the arms of those chairs.

You have some pronounced wear starting to show itself at the bend where the hands naturally rest.

Did you build them yourself? I did these. You can't see it on the photo but the hub labels align with the valves and text on the rim stickers both read from the left.

Even the spokes are different....

But I do like a good bit of pebbledash... reminds me of a curry night out in Manchester

That air vent is close to ground level - do you not get rain slashing in?

Wheels, I quite like the sheer confidence to buy what you like, not what fashion dictates.

Like this

Onza Ibex...🤢 love tan walls me, but they are the worse tyres I ever used. I was amazed how a tyre can be so draggy with little grip, braking support and traction.

Here’s the frame and saddle

@tthew I’m cured of most of my ocd 😉

Mismatch is the new matchy 🙂

You can’t see it on the photo but the hub labels align with the valves and text on the rim stickers both read from the left.

I apologise if this pisses on your chips but convention is for the rim stickers to read from the right…

Ignoring the horrific decals, and the shit looking tyres which you've not even fitted properly, they're not actually a matching pair of wheels. So I rate them individually at 1/10, and combined a solid 0. Well done. Probably the worst pair of wheels I've ever seen. I assume you didn't pay money for them?

I actually like the OP's rim decals. But that's with the caveat that they need to be attached to something that makes those colours work. And, given that everything else about those wheels is a mismatched clusterfudge of giving zero fudges about aesthetics, I'm not entirely optimistic that they will be.

So I'm going to see your 0/10 and raise you a -1/10, on the grounds that someone with some nous could have actually made those decals work, and they've just been wasted.

I can see where the OP is going with this. I did the same, had onza skin walls on a hot pink dirty harry with a bunch of mis-matched colours on the finishing kit. Yeah, it stood out.

Unfortunately i snapped the dirty harry and the tyres went mouldy from the inside through the sidewalls in storage. So that, er, purposefully mismatched colour period is done and i don't need to do it again.

No - Sorry, crossmax wheels should always be black and yellow with black walled tyres.
Its the law.

crossmax wheels should always be black and yellow

Deemax, shorley? (or Crossmax Enduros maybe)

[i]Did you build them yourself[/i]? Asked someone about Mavic Crossmax wheels.. Arf!

I assume this is the OPs car...

I love that vw polo 🙂

I’ve had a serious thing for loud colours/colors. Christ I wore some hideous Troop shellsuits and equally garish shirts from Chipie-Replay-Deisel-Verte Valle Ciao etc etc(insert your own 90’s fashion brand)

Can’t even shake it off on most of my bike builds 🙂

Life’s too short for dull colourways 😉

I apologise if this pisses on your chips but convention is for the rim stickers to read from the right…

I'll turn the bike round - sorted.

Did you build them yourself? Asked someone about Mavic Crossmax wheels.. Arf!

Alright, alright, I'd just woken up and had a late night previously, building wheels!

Asked someone about Mavic Crossmax wheels.. Arf!

The one on the left is clearly factory spec, but (and I don't know my factory onions here) the one on the right has round spokes, silver nipples and no coloured spoke at the valve… possibly a rebuild?

And it's a completely different rim.

Yeah, but the rim's still from a factory wheel, just not the same type of factory wheel as the yellow one.

Ok. XA?

Bloody new standards I’m not buying 2 new wheels 🙂 New frame is boost so new rear wheel Mavic Crossmax light 27.5 boost. Yes I fitted green decals as I clearly have no taste/Plough my own lonely furrow 😉

Fit green decals to both and they'd be less awful.

Remove all the decals would be better.

Remove all the decals would be better

This.

Sorry, I was distracted by the stickerz.

Ok look. I don't like skinwalls, but some do, fair enough. But they must be on an appropriate wheel, something classic looking like a muted naked or black rim. Not that endurognar modern stuff. Wrong wrong.

I don't do matching or non lairy sorry 🙂

I was going to respond re spokes, valve/logos, decals, skinwalls ....but then OP said "colourways".

The sea is over there

The Sick bicycles frame the wheels are apparently going on is currently for sale on eBay. 😂

Christ can’t get a sick frame for love nor money 😉

Yeah, supercaz ftw! Seriously they are properly soft and comfy.
You can also order them in mismatched colour pairs. Just saying.

potential riding shirt.?

I really shouldn't have commented.

I've had cars, motorbikes and shirts all like those posted above!

Shirts not loud enough 🙂

I was happy with my bike until someone pointed out that some of the shades of red didn't quite match.
Seeing the OP's wheels has made me happy again.

Is this you on your fat bike?

^i can only aspire ^

@Yak odd colors you say oh goody 😉

There were two of that design (ltd to 10) on PB recently, numbers 1 and 7.

Potential fork to tone it down a bit

IIRC the Ibex (in 2.4 guise) were the OEM tyres on my Jeffsy. They are terrible, in my opinion. Not great in the dry and absolutely shocking when it's wet. Bin 'em and get something decent.

Had spin round my local loop 10 miles it was pretty slick with top surface of mud in places. I’m running 22psi ish front and no dramas as yet. What pressure were folks running ibex’s At ?

Currently have front wheel on my iroko for testing
