Oh great...more passwords...
Hi all, finally decided to join the forum after repeatedly coming back to this place as a reference for my bike building forays. Anyways, let me introduce myself:
In brief, I'm a highschool senior racing (road cycling) in New England on a aluminum Fuji 2009 Team frame with a carbon Cannondale Synapse fork and SRAM S30s, (which, unfortunately, just cracked.) I believe my bike weighs in right under 20lbs, but I refuse to weigh it so the tyranny of its immense weight doesn't get to me in full force. I've had the pleasure and stress of repairing components (mostly the wheels that are now dead) many, many times. I think I've started to enjoy it.
While I like road racing, I also do a lot of mountain biking in New Hampshire's White Mountains and the surrounding area. My mountain bike is nothing special, just a generic hardtail Marin 21.5" frame with some 29ers I got for what my budget could allow, (keep in mind I'm a highschool student.)
I was finally pushed over the edge to join the forums because I'm looking for some wheel building advice.
I'll see you around,
stanward
