It’s the wheels though.

Were they stock on the bike?

Looks perfik for l’eroica!

But erm, looks a little flexy?

Corners like it’s on… errr…. springs.

The brakes need to be on the inner rim too!

That’s all manner of wrong, on so many different/dangerous levels….

looks noisy as well as inneficient

‘Corners like it’s on springs’ 😯

The brakes need to be on the inner rim too!

wont make a difference

that’s a joke, surely??

Surely been botched with 2 sets of rim sizes:

Now you 29er owners know what to do with your spare 26″ wheels!

Not even Raleigh would have tried to sell that, death trap!

‘Can’t decide on what wheels size is for you? We at raleigh can help you out!’

Yes it will. The outer rim moves independantly to the inner rim. Sit on the bike and the outer rim moves closer to the inner at the bottom and further away at the top. The inner rim does not move in relation to the frame. The outer one does. Ther fore the brakes need to be on the inner rim.

Or at least that is what is supposed to do, in reality it would just be rubbish!

Increased rotating mass, a really good idea!

Ooh vertical compliance and lateral stiffness

Surely those are springs from sofa bed or similar? Just with a nice new coat of paint…

must be so easy to buckle the outer rim!
