  1. Anyone have any familiarty with these wheels? nimble.netnimble.net thanks, bill g

  2. I have a set of Nimble Crosswinds. They are extremely light, aero and fast. I'm very satisfied
    with the wheels and have had no problems after using them for 1 year. I don't use them as daily
    use wheels. I only use them occassionally by my own choosing. I prefer to train with heavier less
    aero wheels.

    wheels have? bill g

    I remember I was reading a bit on them, since I was looking around for a lightweight set of wheels
    to ride on some mountains. But then on their "clincher wheels" page, it mentions something about the
    wheels' braking surfaces, and how they are not suited for long downhills or any prolonged braking
    situations. So I continued to shop around.

  5. Joao, Well that won't do in the lumpy area I ride. thanks, bill g

    I have the Nimble Spiders. These are even lighter then the Crosswinds, though not as aero. I bought
    them for climbing since, recumbents are *aero* enough. The Nimble Fly is even lighter!

    I am really happy with the Spiders. I would buy them again, or maybe the Crosswinds next.

  7. Tony, Nice looking bike. Do you use the tri-spokes or Nimbles more? I'm wondering about
    durability. They look like 28 spoke. Is that correct? Hard to count 'em with the wheels next to
    each other. bill g

  8. I weigh 230 lbs. They're the 3 spoke crosswinds.
