...when it comes to rear wheels.
I bent the axle on my last campy pista hubset after catching way too many flats. Replaced it with a high-flange record pista (sheriff star) on mavic gel 330 tubular this afternoon (sweeeet.) Wheel came with a 19mm pista tire, but I didn't feel like swapping it so I rode back to work, to the bar, then home. ONE BLOCK from home I hit a cut in the road, flatted, and BENT THE DAMN RIM.
I'm getting solid steel rims and solid rubber tires. ARGH.
SO PISSED.
