Bikes: d/a allez -trek t1

think about the last statement you just made...and I think trek and bontrager know their ****. Pretty much every team in any major tour used paired spoke wheels



I think Robbie Mcewen did alright on those wheels, no?

I'll admit that the practice is to send paired spoke wheels back to the manufacturer to have them replaced, because the spoke tension is a ***** to dial in without the fancy tool (pretty much a giant rubber band), but I'd be willing to bet these wheels hold up pretty well...Why do people have to be ANTI something just because it's new...I don't get it...these guys have been making bikes longer than we've been riding them...i think they know what's up...have a little faith (with the exception of biopace)
