saw one when I was at a Chinese dealer. only thing I worry about is the tires going that fast for so long. Also do you smell like a 2 stroke while using it?

It shoves the exhaust under the bike so no. Plus most of the time I'll be in the city so I doubt that I'll be getting to those speeds. I'd be more worried about braking than the tires.

is that the setup that goes over the rear wheel hub, thru the spokes? If so expect to buy a new rear rim every few months (3-6) depending on amount of use.

Those are extremely popular in the ghetto (no kidding) up here. A bud of mine on my michigan site owns a bicycle shop and said they do at least one a week for this issue. The guys coming in with them don't care because it's so cheap.

You going to buy an after-market slip-on? Maybe an Akrapovik?
