Broncos have the toughest schedule in football this year.
Chefs, Eagles and the evil pats, all in succession. |

Speaking of sports, is there something going on with the Philadelphia Eagles?

I also wanted to avoid having a different spoke key size, but it's difficult to determine which key size the replacements online use.
These are 3.3mm. |

I can't tell you for sure, but the common 3.3 mm size used in the USA and Europe is now ALMOST universal. Goes with the BLACK Park spoke wrench. If the nipples are DT or Sapim, they are almost surely that standard size. Maybe some variation in Japan, but I have had green and red wrenches for 35 years and never used them.

No. Ghost pepper infused pickles were earlier.
I went through a pickle phase (NTTAWWT) over the summer, but the Moroccan dish the other day has me thinking about olives, now. |

To my old man brain a) I can't imagine my first wheel build to be crabon, and 2) it just seems like bad business to use metal nipples in crabon rim. Do crabon nipples exist? To be honest, I've given it no thought until just now.
Good morning! Metal nipples are standard in carbon rims, either brass or aluminum. IIWY, I would start with an inexpensive alloy rim like Kinlin. What about all the tools. Are you going to buy a truing stand? |

But considering it was a name brand wheel (right?), I would guess the alloy threads just failed.
I wouldn't have owned the set I have but for the fact I was endlessly waiting for my set of Psimets to arrive. My Ksyrium Elite developed a death squeal, I needed a quick set, and they were on the deal at my Performance. |

Did they change the color? |

You must have some of those future roads that'll require gravel bike tires to absorb all the bumps, cracks and potholes.
