If he wants bomb proof first he's got to realize that the best thing to do is stop riding over bombs.
True this. I have to admit - riding in dense urban traffic it's sometimes impossible for me to see these things coming cause I'm too focused on car doors and pedestrians in rush hour mayhem. The bomb I hit on the A23 flatted me out. I don't know what bent the HED. I do wonder is 80psi on a 23mm rim with a Conti 4Season too low?
I think I'm going to re-purpose my old T11 hub with a new 36h Archetype and take a wheel building class.
