In fact, I once had to make use of this feature when my rear rim split in my 29er, at a time when rims were impossible to source in Asia. I was able to rebuild the wheel using a ‘donor’ rim from the Extrawheel, which I’d built up specifically to be compatible, and then source a cheap wheel in the market for the Extrawheel. Being such big wheels, the Extrawheel rolls really well, with less of a tendency to jump around behind you like a BOB Yak. It’s also short, so the turning circle is very good.
