-dustin.....here's paired bladed spokes and a small animal.....







Maybe if roadies would stick with normal 32 spoked wheels furry animals wouldn't fit. I actually had a squirrel try to run thru my wheel, but he bounced off then made it between my wheels.

That happened to a lady here in Bend a couple years ago. It darted out into her front wheel and she ended up flipping and breaking her collarbone.

Squirrels obviously hate Treks.
... and bunnies hate schwinns. Went on a 2am sprint down the silver strand in san diego (couldn't sleep). Had 3 really close calls with cotton tails jumping infront of me. Had one clip the trailing edge of my front wheel and narrowly missing getting run over with my rear. Looks like bunnies smarter and faster than squirrels.

A chipmunk ran between the wheels of the guy riding in front of me on a ride (mountain) a couple of weeks ago.

Too funny, I have gotten a squirrel with the front wheel of the SHadow before, there was nothing easy about getting him out from inbetween the tire and fender.


The squirrel in the rotor isnt too bad, try getting a rattle snake up in there
