Other than the sarcasm, I consider that a fair statement.
However, I consider the damage done to be my fault, not the wheels fault. I failed to make sure a new to me wheel was in good condition prior to riding it, and I failed to stop when I first heard the spoke break.
There is no question that if this wheel, once repaired, fails to keep its spokes, it will join a couple of others in the rafters of my garage.
I'm not in any way saying folks should go out and ride low spoke count wheels. I have just found that good quality well-built wheels with high or low spoke count can hold up well.
I also ride a carbon frame, it will not hold up like a steel frame. I also ride a saddle with titanium rails, once again, it has more chance of failing.
Ya pays yur money and ya takes yur chances.....After all, it’s just bicycles.....It's all good
