We should remake the ad.

he probably did ride off with a very buckled wheel, as long as a spoke didnt puncture the innertube....

I always thought that was very misleading.

meticulous · « **Reply #9 on:** November 11, 2012, 07:06 PM »

the rim will return back to normal but the now bent spokes will hold it in a buckled state...

Buckled to buggery

There's an awesome Z-Rim test by 'Trash Can' Morgan BMXA Sept 1980: http://oldschoolmags.com/bmx_action.html
ACS used some of the photos from that session for a double page ad in the December issue.

Bitd I reinacted that add on my mates bike and held it down in bent position 4 as long as i could

It snapped the hub, a few spokes and was totally unridable when I let it go

He was furious

but he asked me 2 do it

rich daddy bought him a new set of wheels the next day

Never trusted the things!

oldschoolfool · « **Reply #22 on:** November 17, 2012, 09:33 PM »

i thought the ad showed a bike jumping a ramp in a couple of shots then showing it land out of shape from behind it??

gossa · « **Reply #23 on:** November 17, 2012, 09:47 PM »

I had pretty rare Graphite Z's on ACS hubs (on my Redline MX2), I did this because of the advert and shattered the hub flange.
