Yep, bike season is getting here. I'm getting antsy. I was futzing with the Hoss this morning.
"Hey look, the wheel is out of true a little bit."
"Hey, that spoke there seems kind of loose."
"Oh. It's not loose."
Yeah, another busted spoke. I must have broken it several months ago, or it just decided to let loose over the winter.
Anyway, I had some spoke issues with this wheel back in August and I kind of don't want to go through that again. Besides, the downhill rims on the wheels are really freakin' heavy.
In my little fantasy world, I'd run off and buy some nice lightweight racing wheels to replace these wheels. They'd be super light and never break. I'd also have a pony. That could fly.
So, anybody care to indulge me with some possible wheel setup suggestions? Looking for something with a disc hub that deal with a 200+lb abusive rider on a 30+lb. hardtail. Flying pony suggestions also welcome, but not necessary.
