good to hear that the hubs are not plastic, had me worried.
Most of my rides are on the well cared for roads of New York City
and New jersey. I commute to work, which is about 12 miles away
and do laps in central park until I reach 30 miles or until the roller bladers take over the road.. I want a bullit proof wheels but not one the I will have to take out a mortage for..
I'm a small guy 165lbs love to charge down hills, working on my hill climbing and love the flats for sprints. I dont do races or time trails. think I'm to old for that.
MichealW said its cheaper of build wheel or did I read that wrong?
How can you tell if your bike shop is good at building wheels?
I never see any shop tech building wheels but most say they can.
Is it hard to build a wheel set? Hmmm need rim, spokes, hub spoke wrench and truing strand think I'll try and build one...
