Well, I guess if you wait long enough, things always come back around. The Bike Snob reports on a trend I've been noticing with the messengers and fixed gear crowd...Aerospke wheels are hot again.

I noticed a lot of fixies with the Aerospoke on the front and have been wondering why? Still no answer for that but since Aerospoke makes thier own hubs, the front and backs are interchangable...meaning I could run a wheel as a front or back wheel if I have both hubs. I've been looking off and on (not real hard btw) for an Aerospoke with the front hub for a while now....since 2004 (check the classifieds) to build up a single speed (since my rear hub can't be fixed). I guess I predated the trend...or maybe I sowed the seeds and started this trend. :rolleyes: ;)
Anyway, interesting to see...and this should make finding one easier now.
