I have no comment on this wheel, but why do we assume everything that comes out of there is poo?

Well I don't think that all of us do, JEFFF! Unless, of course, the product's from the province of Poo Ching Tao.
Actually, as I have elucidated on another thread, Chinese noodles are quite possibly superior to Italian noodles because the Chinese were making noodles looong before Marco Polo ripped the Chinese off and began selling them in Italy - called them Spaghetti! Hah, talk about what may have been the first knock-off!
This is NOT off topic!
Years before Mao, the Chinese in fact manufactured noodle cart wheels that were very similar to the later developed western "wire" wheels (I believe another Italian named Borrani ripped that concept off the Chinese as well) that were formed limp, then frozen solid.
They were "winter" cart wheels used only in the winter in the colder regions of Upper Mongolia and enjoyed many years of popularity (primarily purchased by peasants).
They failed miserably in Italy until the Italians substituted heavy guage Italian piano wire for the noodles.
Interestingly, no one has been successful in their attempts to produce a cast wire wheel. That ought to tell one something!
