Ming Cycle has announced that the plastic wheels heretofore only available on LT is now for sell as replacement parts through Strida dealers in Taiwan. No words on international availability though. Hopefully soon.

Dang that looks sweet! i’m on the 18 inchers now but if I ever want to go back to the 16 inches i’d switch out my spoke ones for these, not more weekly spoke management! Only thing I didn’t know was the exoskeleton look on the other side, which will trap dirt and brake dust i’m thinking. But the pros overwhelm the cons here, just wondering how much , only need the wheel. Hope they don’t sell it with the disk brakes and tires and freewheels cause it’ll be cheaper that way.
