three spoke

i am thinking about gettign one of these wheels. i see everyone in e9 ridding them and i feel like it is a good idea. this is one is very cheap with only 4 hrs to go. should i buy it? i knwo its not a head wheel but it looks good and could be better fo r longer rides.

would it fit carbolight peugeot wheels?

thanks.

you have to ride them in pairs (front and rear), or else the gyroscopic effect will make you dizzy.

also, don't forget to fit them the right way round. One guy I know who did this and he cracked his top bracket, also he blew a head gasket.
