Why did I watch all of that?
Why did you bother filming yourself if you're not going to show your face? I don't really care what kind of snazzy jacket collect you might have.

Sorry if you didn't like it. Somebody, someday, will find me sharing this experience helpful, and if that's not you, that's okay. Thanks for watching.

It's alright man. I once made a how-to video on picking radio station pre-sets. You know, those buttons on your car radio that let you jump to your favorite stations. I think it helped a lot of people. Played real well with the Japanese.

wonder why people get the impulse to video everything they do. That was utterly boring, even tho I had heads up so I only spent 30sec scrubbing thru the vid. In the future, I'm gonna make a 1 week long vid documenting what I did while waiting for my order to show up.. UNEDITED

He should have just spent the $20 to have his stock wheels properly tensioned in the first place, and we wouldn't have to suffer through this.

+1 for wheel and sprocket / cyclingcloseouts.com
i've completely messed up my order for stuff from them, gave them a call and straightened it all out within 5 minutes. I donno what the op has stuck up his ass but he might want to get it checked out.

Ya know, as a mod I'm obliged to view all these vids from start to finish to make sure they're not in violation of any forum rules. Well, that vid was pure torture and I almost grabbed a kitchen knife and ended it all. Please, please, in the name of all that is sacred and pure, don't ever post anything like that again.

My only complaint is there should be a part II 9 min vid review of you mounted the tires and installed the wheels. I'd also go for a 9 min review of the outfits you ride the bike in.
Don't make us beg!
