Velocity Chukker // Split Seam



Kyoichi's new Velocity Chukker split at the seam. And these were supposed to be some tough rims? Not like those exploding Chinese rims, right?

Quote from the man himself: "Fucking piece of shit!"

EDIT.

Just to make this more clearer and before the Velocity President Mr. John Black comes here to set me straight once again:

Everyone understands that stuff like rims can break or get damaged in certain conditions, right? One rim or whatever component breaking does not mean that every item produced by the company in question is no-good. Not even when the rim is question was marketed as a extra tough rim for 'the fixed gear tricks / bike polo community'...

  5. Really interesting I was fascinated with the way you related rims with the real subject implicit in this article, it was really good for me and my purposes.
