By the way, these wheels which I got, as well as the Grimeca ones, are made from an aluminum-magnesium alloy, and are fairly light for that kind of build.
They're also less sensitive to humidity than an Aerospoke. (CF composites don't like humidity. It's all *****-dory until they get scratched. After the humidity starts creeping in, you're playing with fire.).
When were you o'er here, my friend?
Meant maybe you could connect the OP with the gent in Helsinki... Was there from September to December... Did some posting on Yksivaihde, hanging out at Nick's shop, and doing alleycats... The velodrome closed way too early though... Kept getting lost on the way to VPCX too. I was rocking my Koga Track.
