Teny Rims = Tupperware?

Tupperware is cool. Especially the iceblock makers.

Teny Rims are UNIQUE because they are SHOCK ABSORBENT, WIND RESISTANT and come in a VARIETY OF COLORS.

Why are Teny Rims UNIQUE? Teny Rims are SHOCK ABSORBENT, preventing the bike from rebound no matter what the surface be it rugged, bumpy, or rough road. Teny Rims provide a more comfortable ride over traditional rims.

Teny Rims have LOW WIND RESISTANCE . Traditional bicycle rims always bring some uncertain volume of wind resistance when spinning. The bike will start decelerating immediately if you stop pedalling. Teny Rims are designed according to the Centrifugal Force and Windmill Theory so the bike will not decelerate right away. When in riding, the bike will be faster, easier to move and accelerate the speed.

Friends don't let friends buy teny rims.

Really? That bad huh?
Appreciate the advice what's the issue with them? Just no good?

You clearly haven't been keeping up to date with the deep light wheel thread.

But for the record, if they keep momentum due to the forces of physics you describe, it would no doubt be because they are heavy. If that is true, they would be less able to change direction quickly, which means the bike would be less manoeverable. Furthermore, to suggest they would be more shock absorbing than a spoked wheel is intriguing, especially in light of the fact that trad spokes are essentially sprung between hub and rim. This spring action means impacts are essentially absorbed between hubs and rims. Can you explain how a thick aluminum spoke gives better shock absorption than a thin steel spoke?

Thanks for that bit of marketting copy. I still reckon they look utter cack.

Just because you may have justified buying them for yourself - don't feel the need to justify them to others. We've all had our bad fashion moments. I continually am out of whack with the cyclical trends of decades rehashing themselves.

[Dan]

I think based on that bit of copy they should be rebranded as 'crock of Teny'.

[HappyHumber]

How could you argue with this?

Strong and tenacity. I must buy. Where I can send coins to embezzle?

Something about those colours and shapes.... makes me want a tasty alcoholic beverage with a slice of lime or lemon. That could just be me though.

I'd love to see the aero data of a Teny rim compared to say, a Hed 3...


When you say that the rims are designed according to Centrifugal Force/Windmill Theory, don't you just mean that they are designed like a flywheel, and when they are up to speed they just keep rotating because they are so damn heavy??

[HappyHumber]

There's a remarkably similar spiel posted about their MTB rims posted on bikeforums.net - pretty easily found. Talks of "windmill theory making the most of perpetual motion" or something similar. Quite an amusing thread. The OP comes back once or twice too

oh my god

stop it

stop it please

Shouldn't you wait for our resident self-appointed wheel guru to offer his critique first

[landscapecadmonkey]

time filler fixie.... bits and pieces

Apollo (Kuwahara ) frame
Reid wheels (quando+alex rims... cheap but do the job very well)
Cinelli Stem and Bars
Tricolour front brake with generic lever.
Maxxis refuse tyres
Steel cranks from old Europa bought for $3.50 on fleabay
Shimano sealed BB
cheap Velo saddle
Sakae pedals (pain ita)

commute on, around town on... friends and relos plaything.

(and trainable.... taught to self balance on 2 tyres !!)

Slick x 2. I need a quick photoshop tute btw.

yeah...PS is a little bit of cheating, but it makes the image represent how the 'mind sees it'. (hey...theres a phd in there somewhere )

Smooooth.

get some foot retention!

So put this together as a street whip so I can reserve my Bridgestone to pure track/sunday ride type business.

Just waiting for my new carbon wheel set to turn up so I can remove the current boat anchors on there.

That is, replacing a 2.5kg wheelset with a 1300gram wheelset. Should tip the scales at about 7.3kg total weight. About 6.8/9 if I swap out the Campy track pedals for my keo's.

looks like a Surly Tuggnut in the rear there... ... thats a nice little flourish on a minimalist bike...

No tugnut. Just beefy drop outs. They have inbuilt chain tensioners anyway.

[ldrcycles]

THAT is your street whip?!

Looks VERY nice.

Bit o porn rite there guv.

Campy Record Pista cranks are emminently fappable.

Campy Record Pista cranks are emminently fappable.

Never been a fan of the modern ones... Had been hunting for a set of old Pista's to go on my Hillman track project, but scored these new ones with BB for an incredible price (all new).

Once I got them out of the box/installed them, yeah, I'm sold. I prefer them to the DA 7600's on my Bridgestone, which I thought were some of the best looking cranks ever!
