Well im not new to riding. I used to race in the wild rockies series here in Idaho during Jr. high and early high school. my time racing was ended by a head on car crash which fractured my neck. and then joining the Army. well now that im out of the Army im looking at hoping back onto my bike that has been hanging in my garage for years now. its been so long that i dont even remember half the details about it :(

prob here in the next month or so im going to be looking at getting a new wheelset and riding shoes. currently running a heavy ass set of HED aero wheels that i thought were cool when i was 15 :p but now i realize that they are heavy.

so blah blah.. thats my introduction

Jason

You'll have a lot better luck if you post your questions about wheels in the "Mountain Biking Forum"... we'd all be happy to answer there. In the meantime, welcome!
