I want rims that I can recycle, not just dump into landfill at the end of their life.
For now, that means aluminium.
I like the principle, oldnpastit, but really it's such a tiny part of the overall life of the parts, the impact of riding, etc... Like, I just broke a carbon rim, and yeah it'll probably go to landfill but it's 400 grams of waste, that's 67 grams a year. I don't know how much was in the landfill wheelie bin I just put out, but, not 67 grams.
But as Tesco say, every little helps. No different in principle to BC's 'marginal gains' approach to success.
Or if everyone in the country just gave me 1pence, it wouldn't be noticeable to them. But I'd have over half a million quid in the bank.
