One Yard Rims.

According to a YouTube blog last night, the latest 'thing' on the MTB circuit is a 36" rim.
Bearing in mind the laws of physics; slower to get going to overcome the initial extra mass, flying when you are moving and very good brakes needed to overcome that extra mass when slowing or stopping suddenly, seems an interesting idea.
Anyone - ?

That sounds like the GMBN video, where he used the bike that Connor Dunne had made for a GCN video, using 36" wheels. I suspect neither video was intended to be entirely serious

Pffft. I rode a 36" rim years ago, as part of a Penny.
@spandex (once of this parish) builds wheels, including 36" ones.
