OK... took her out and noticed some things...

OK...
I know there are many post concerning clydes/athenas and bike setup up...

talked to a few bike shops and haven't got a satisfactory answer that matches the wisdom here...

Kenda - Koncept tires 700c 23mm (sidewall says good for 110psi)

weinmman 700c rims (corroded nipples and dirty spokes)

I have 32 hole Maillard <sp> hubs... that look like new...

in order to save cost and remember I'll be a 250lbs clyde fairly soon...

would Velocity Deep Vs with some super spokes with my current hubs be a strong enough wheel?

seeing those tires smooshed flat with the rim almost touching!!! proves these wheels arent going to cut it...

thankfully it was just a leisurely ride with my son on the restored '79 Schwinn Scrambler BMX...

the Premis is fast and I just can't run her up for fear or wheel failure...

(man that front tire smooshed out was not a promising sight!!!)
