As much as i care to admit it I have been looking on retrobike, I never thought it would happen to me but it has. So i was quietly thinking how things had come such a long way without actually going anywhere or getting any better in the last 20 years, but when i saw this I realised I think they have.. gotta be comparable to girvin flexstem in terms of engineering... anyone care to explain?

Tioga geodesic rear wheel?
I remember them. Looked very quirky, loads of spiel about their 'advantages', and very spensive.
Ask yourself this; if it was such a brilliant idea, why aren't all bikes using them now?
And ask yourself that of basically anything to do with bikes.
Some right snake oil out there....
my point I think, just couldnt work out how anyone coud justify so much spoke weight at the rim...
Its just some kind of cover over a normal backwheel.
They did sound good though.
One of the best products for offering no benefits at all at great expense.

That sound! Oh yes....!
That's all the benefit you needed!
I REALLY wanted a Tioga Disk Drive after Tomac became my hero. They sounded ace.
