Pet Peve Wheels called "Rims"

[Bikeman315]

The same crowd that refers to records as... vinyls. Nooooo! Makes my skin crawl...

I do not know how old you are but the term "vinyl" when used to refer to LP records has been used for over 50 years. Sorry if it make your skin crawl.

How could you sleep at night omg that must suck!!! I think you should see a shrink about those crawly things.



I'm just playing bud, life is to short to hang yourself on dumb things. Enjoy life and don't mind the small nonsense! Hakuna matata!

Around here, we call them PVC's (pronounced puh-vooks) being that they are made of polyvinyl chloride material.

You know what these were made of?

Weed and coke? That seem to be the most abundant thing in the 70's

I'm assuming shellac. If you were to drop it, would it shatter?

Oh yeah. This was my grandfathers. 10", 78RPM, & shellac.

Fun Fact: Shellac is made from the female lac bug. These tree-dwelling bugs secrete “lac” which hardens and cakes onto the tree. This resin-like substance is scraped off and dissolved in bulk quantities to be reshaped into the disk record. Its natural resistance to moisture is what made it first popular among music records and was known as the “natural plastic.” While easily scratchable, it did have one downside. One drop and the record would smash into a hundred pieces. Fragile, to say the least

Vinyl, yes; vinyls, no. Like - hey, wanna come over and listen to some vinyls and chill? Yeah, crawling skin may have been a bit of an exaggeration.

Ha! I don't sweat the small stuff... most the time, I don't even sweat the big stuff!

Wheels and rims just go together. Has anyone invented rimless wheels yet? Or, tires that would stay on them?

Vinyl's as in plural. On second thought I might be there with you. Ugh!

Yep (kinda)..... but these would technically be hubless wheels.
