Loop Wheels

[bikepete]

There will be a review in the next Velovision (issue 45).

Which is uploading to the printer as I type... I also have a Loopwheels first impressions report up on the website as per link below. Spandex (does he still come on here?) also got to try them...:

They look crap.

But hey, what do I know?

Another invention for 'improving' bikes all set to sink without trace!

Think - where does the energy lost in any suspension come from, and what would it be better used for? I concede to front suspension on the mtb I use around town - useful for kerbs, and a suspension seatpost on the tourer - useful on Somerset's rural roads and energy loss is just acceptable.

Doesn't sound too bad. Still being in development at least means that minor niggles should be sorted. It would be interesting to do a side by side test on otherwise matching frames to see how they perform comparatively over the same terrain with the same rider. I'll get Spandex's opinion on Friday, when I see him.
