Get your facts right, don't be disingenuous or duplicitous.

I'm 375lb and I've been riding a Giant OCR1 with paired spoke aero wheels (Xero X-Lites).
Oh my GARSH! I'm a TROLL!
Let me see, where do I get my facts? Uhhh,maybe from what you write here in the forums! I read something that says "I HAVE BEEN a Giant with X-Lite wheels" in quote #3 posted about a week ago! Sound familiar? I read your statements then a flag raises later when you change your claims in an opposing statement.
Now I'm making suff up according to your staements in quote 1 and 2?
No, I'm not obsesssed with your statements, just trying to make heads form tails as you continue to contradict yourself. One day you say you ride a certain bike, then the next day, you say you don't, after you've given wheel advice to others on which wheels support you Clydes.
My thinking you were a wheel buiulder was whenyou said, do it yourself plus all the technical advice you are throwing out about dish, washers, blah blah blah. If you had sid you buiilt a wheel that failed, then I would have discarded all of your staements a LOOONG time ago. But you sounded so much like an expert with all the technical advice tha you know so much about!

C'mon man, the stuff you state is rediculous! Without going back, I read you were about to do a 55 down hill on your tandem, new wheel, with your wife and a child chariot on the back of the bike? On a family freindly century with 10,000 ft of elevation gain. Whether it was all in one climb or not, you are full of it! Family friendly, Shees!
