MARCH RADNESS - STAN'S ALL-TIME FAVORITE RIM
The NCAA has made the decision to cancel March Madness, so we've decided to bring a little bracket excitement to your life. We've put together a pool of 16 classic and current rims and are asking for your help to crown our all-time favorite rim. Between now and the end of the month, we'll be posting one poll each day to decide which rims advance to the next round. For each vote you cast, you'll be entered for a chance to win a current MK3 wheelset of your choice. The opening round will begin on Monday, March 16th! Remember, you can only vote one time per day and this promotion is open to international contestants.
The Flow MK3 has been selected as our all-time favorite rim!
Cross-Country DivisionIn 2003 the first Stan's NoTubes "ZTR" rims hit the market. The very next year a bronze medal was won at the Athens Olympics. Since our first Cross-County rim was launched nearly 20 years ago, Stan's has continued to push the boundaries and expectations of what is possible for a cross-country wheelset. | |||
