I was trying to explain why I do not consider the cost of bike wheel in this discussion. Sorry.

Thanks. Not asking anybody to agree with me. Just trying to post my opinion on cycling due to experience and research. Many on cycling forums do not actually reattach or try products and have an opinion. That is all I am addressing. Most post on forums that Aero wheel are not worth the money because they cannot afford them. I understand the feeling of trying to argue about products so you do not feel inferior. There is just a time to let it go.
We appreciate your input and the science behind it, however, it's up to them to listen if they want to. Your 6.7 are probably as good as a pair of alex rims... if you like them then enjoy them.

Contact you? Buddy, if you're trying to pick me up, I've got tto tell you, you're going about it the wrong way. Is this what the whole thing about my mom's basement and meeting dudes on the internet was about too?

No Sir. Sorry if you were confused by my attempt to provide contact information. I understand you may get excited easily by contact from real people... But I am not the one. Get out of the basement and actually meet somebody!

Now you are starting to step on some toes.

It's all right. Think about it this way, the less people listen to your truth, the bigger the advantage you have over them. In the Road forum, everybody has an opinion and unless it offends somebody else, it is typically OK. You don't have to be right to be happy but if it floats your boat without doing any harm? so be it.

Pretty arrogant, aren't we? It's you attitude, and inability to keep it light, that's spawned those responses. Everyone here gets slammed a little on most threads and usually all in good humor. You asked. We answered. Maybe this just isn't the right place for Army Majors who has not control of the response to his ... pronouncements.

You really don't get it, do you? This a dynamic community of very very helpful and knowledgeable folk. My comment was made, obviously in vane, and not even hinting, that not much good is going to come out of those responses.

How did you get to be a Major without knowing how to find all the data you need, either within your military resources or on the wide open internet? Not to mention making a few well placed calls to manufacturer reps, sales departments, emails to all the same, and your local bike shop. (That's a rhetorical question, by the way.)
Actually you should throw some of your weight around and actually talk to the professional cycling teams. Nobody knows like they do the benefits or not of any particular cycle or component.

You are the one with the harsh responses to start with. Maybe there is a good reason Army Majors don't have their own large community of cycling folk. It takes a broad spectrum of cyclists to do what we do here.
