Return it and get your money back, or at least ask for the 4 spokes.

Not the most practical street setup, for sure.

Colonel: Hey, what is that wheel on the front of your track bike?
Private Juvi-Kyle: A HED3, sir.
Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Juvi-Kyle: I don't remember, sir.
Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Juvi-Kyle: "Born to SKID", sir.
Colonel: You write "Born to SKID" on your helmet and you rock a HED3. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Juvi-Kyle: No, sir.
Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant **** on you.
Private Juvi-Kyle: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Juvi-Kyle: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of track, sir.
Colonel: The what?
Private Juvi-Kyle: The duality of track. The Trackosauras thing, sir.
Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?
Private Juvi-Kyle: My side, sir. Yours sucks.
Colonel: Don't you love your track bike?
Private Juvi-Kyle: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
Private Juvi-Kyle: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my riders is that they obey my orders as they would the word of Marty Nothstein. We are here to help the roadies, because inside every roadie there is a trackstar trying to get out. It's a hardball world, Juvi-Kyle. We've gotta keep our heads until this geared craze blows over.
Private Juvi-Kyle: Aye-aye, sir!!!

bikes rule, no matter what

eh. i think these deep V carbon wheels look stupid as hell, but i wouldn't mind riding one around town and seeing what it's like. hell, maybe it'd even be fun to take it to the drome.

300g NJS tubular rims are where it's at.

How do you guys afford 90mm rims for riding on the street? I never even had that sort of s**t for racing.


(BTW, there's no such thing as a 300g NJS tubular rim - lightest Japanese alloy rim is 340g and it's not NJS)

i've probably ran into you directly or indirectly than. i ride a red bridgestone around town.
i agree, alpenrose is fun as hell, and while i still have track drops on my bike and am too lazy to go back to risers for the time being, i want to make it back to the velodrome. those steep walls are soo much fun.
