Posting about it here makes me think he should have said, "wrong wheelset for that bike." Then slapped you. You would have become indignant and ask if he just assaulted you for having the wrong wheelset on yo' bike. At that point he would have explained your bike was beautiful, and that no he didn't smack you for having the wrong wheelset. He would then share that he smacked you for being a total ninny to the point that later you'd go whining on bike forums about all of this. At which point any reasonable person would agree:

1. Wrong wheels
2. Yes, you had it coming
or even better, tossed a stick in the wheels after he was riding, ruin the wheels and possibly send the OP to the ER ... one step closer to "problem solved".

Shouldn't you be out stressing an aluminum frame to it's modulus of elasticity?
