The Burrito'd Wheel, part 2

Here's another viddy of that folding bike wheel concept we mentioned last year. While I hold out hope that this may be a way to get around those goddamn airlines that insist on charging $150 to transport full-sized bikes -- due largely to the irreducible size of full 700c or 26 inch wheelsets -- I'm not really holding my breath.





I have to say, this thing doesn't look like it rolls particularly true, and most cyclists wouldn't tolerate the obvious wobbles I'm seeing. That, and riding without an inner tube. You tend to notice that too, even running one of those squishy mid-90s Rock Shox Judys.

Also this: Uff duh, what a crap soundtrack.
