I've been thinking about how much one wheeling relies upon fairly
unconventional cycling equipment, eg: -
muni and 24" rims with 3" tyres
29-ing and giant 700c tyres
As far as I know 24" rims only exist because of downhill racing (and
maybe childrens bikes).
If, for some reason, the supply of 3" tyres dried up, then 24" rim unis
would be fairly useless for muni.
29-ing seems very relient on the continuing production of 'Big Apple'
tyes, and I find it difficult to imagine them being much in demand for
bicycles.
Hopefuily, these things, and more like them, will continue to be
produced, but does anyone worry that in ten years time they'll have
dissapeared?
