In response to this:
I suggest/endorse:
If I might make a suggestion, once you get the wheels forget about the gear for a while. You can be assured that you have an excellent ride. Just ride it and focus on personal improvement through riding/training/ fitness--and it won't cost you anything. You'll have the equipment down in spades! Good luck and enjoy!

Bikes: Now I Got Two
Of course, they must be okay, otherwise they wouldn't be as popular as they are. I think I got one bad one with a "gate vestige" on it that was puncturing my tubes. In plastic injection molding a gate vestige is a little stub of plastic in the shape of the opening (gate) through which the molten plastic enters the mold. It should be broken off and removed when the plugs are taken out of the mold, but I guess I got one with it still intact. It was acting like a thorn and puncturing the tube. Just to be safe I blew off all the plugs and went back to tape. Maybe I should give them another try.

I'm going to guess PINK.
Needs RED Tape to pull it together, rug like.

Really glad I went with the black hubs. I think the gold or mango would have looked great but I am happy with the black. Now that I have seen the wheel in my hand, I'm not so hesitant to let myself like how they look. I will be getting my tires tomorrow for my LBS and will mount as soon as I get home. Cant wait to go on a test ride with these and give some feedback!!!
