I don't believe in 'just being a road builder' anyway - I think every type of cycling informs the rest and makes for a better widget. 1 1/8th Aheadsets on roadbikes anyone? Everyone?

Easton just bought out Velomax and slapped their stickers on them as far as I can assertain. If you need new wheels, I can get cracking deals on Zipp and Reynolds - both of which are better IMHO - and I can also do handbuilts pretty reasonably too. Don't get sucked into the Ksyrium vortex whatever you do.
Yeah, fair call on not naming your competitors....and you have explained to me why the Easton wheels all had velomax hubs anyway - thanks.

But it's too late...the Ksyrium vortex has already got me .....they came with the bike I will however keep in mind your name for Zipps, Reynolds or custom wheels should the need arise. mmmmZipps...
