My bike is $29k. The exhaust would be $4.5K.
This is not at all the same as someone with a $3k bike buying $3k wheels.
Your post is the most brain dead thing I've read...at least on this forum. Today anyway.

Yup, well in my defense I had already added a fron Brembo 4 piston caliper & 38mm rear caliper along with a quick shifter so it was the only thing let to do. Lol

AHahaa
Interesting points. Makes me want to get into the wheel business.
Just an idea:
I've seen other spinning parts that are not allowed to have a catastrophic failure have a multi-material design. eg. metal alloy wrapped in Carbon fiber for a multi X strength to weight ratio over single material designs and a have a non-catastrophic failure. (yes, everything fails)
Ya, metal skeleton, compressed carbon wrap. There's a €6K wheel!
Who's in?
You've been to America recently?

Yup...live here....we're still good........its still as good as it gets for everything i need and do....could it be better(?)...yes, there's always room for improvement, depending on the swing of the political pendulum, sometimes more room than other times
