The only question

The only thing I ask myself before buying a new bike or a bike of a “new” type is: Will I ride it at least zero percent of the time?

Bah

Ticket brokers with bots are a legitimate menace. They grab all the seats in milliseconds. You can’t beat them. But, as others have noted, you are on equal footing with the scheming septuagenarian...

Hmm. I try to be careful and on a couple of occasions an LBS has fixed. But it’s possible.

HED seems to be equivocal on this matter. The 90 psi limit is documented, but elsewhere they say that higher pressure won’t damage the rim, but will add no benefit. Likely you are correct t that I...

Postscript

I am the OP. Postscript: I finally bought new wheels with HED Belgium Plus rims over DA hubs, despite excellent advice from this thread that I put scarce funds elsewhere. Now I get a pinch flat...

You are all wrong

The freewheel and cassette can be compressed by the chain, which is not subject to any forces. This gives the appearance that the chain is stretched somehow. You need a whole new drive train. Maybe...
