Should I.........

Since I don't ever get on the bottom of the drops, cut about 4" off the end of my Pro Wings. Or, get a set of Hood Rats and try my plan on them first********************???

Bullhorns are not an answer, nope, no way. I only go to the downward bend with palms inwards, the downward bend is important for finger placement and overall comfort. I would get to the hoods, except I don't have any (ft. cross lever close to the stem).

Save the Wings and kill a Rat. Or, go for it??

Why do that at all? Are you pulling a FixedDriveJess and trying to save 10 grams?

Not weight savings at all. Hell, I just got a heavy ass Thomson seat post, a set of A530 pedals and a Bud tall boy holder (insulated!!).;)

There are a few roadies around here.............never talked to one of them. I do get the looks at the corner store. I just thought that would be something for them to look at. Other than VeloDuck.

Eh, I wouldn't cut them. Doesn't accomplish anything except killing their resell value.

for srs? i only saw 2

sry googoo

And making your bike look like it belongs in the jackass thread.

Do it so we can post your bike in the J/A thread.

The first cross is right as it leaves the hub flange.

i thought it was that and only one other one, i think my brain got dazzled and was confusing spokes that i thought were on the other side

even though now when i say that out loud it sounds completely dumb.

I had to squint, haha.

With modern rims and hubs 32h is a lot. So you can get the same strength with 2x spokes, as the older 32h 3x. The weight drop from 3x to 2x is pretty significant, and I personally really dig the 2x look.

Not at all. Just did a quick spoke length calculation for a front CK to an Archetype. Spoke length was 285mm vs 291mm. Lasers weigh .017g/mm (rounding up even). 6mm difference per spoke, 32 spokes, totals a savings of 192mm worth of spoke length. Less than a single spoke difference.

So that nets less than a 4g savings going with 2 cross over 3 cross.


edit: Also, the difference between 32h 3 cross and 28h 2 cross is less than 30 grams per wheel. Nothing anyone needs to worry about for a "do everything" wheel.

How much resale do you lose on a fifty buck thing??

See, I knew someone would have a good reason. One way or the other.

Do we have a jackass rider thread??:p

Fifty bucks.

And............a reason to cut 'em.:lol:

Should I sticker bomb the 930 then clear it?

i feel like you asked this question once before, what happened to mack truck yellow?

i think itd be pretty cool if every inch was covered with stickers, and they were all unique

yea u right, i asked the builder of the wheels

I couldn't answer that, although counting back I have driven 14 Mack trucks totaling hundreds of thousands of miles. Mine were all red.

The bike is too nice as it is do dick up.

Was holding off because the sticker bomb thing was in the back of my head.

I am not surprised you were/are a truck driver.

I feel like you have some ****ing stories to tell.

unless you got a ****load of stickers and really did it up right i would say go yellow

**** yeah, the right kinda dude to drink with

I was a driver. My second to last ride:
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...k/IMG_0152.jpg

79,000 pounds
280 gallons of diesel
600 little kitties
18 speeds
128 MPH

I put 1.4 million miles on that and it was said to be wore out. A few months later in the new "truck", I decided that I was wore out too. And quit. A year ago this week!!!!

Now I drive two wheels, 18 pounds at 14 MPH powered by one old fart.

Everyone my age has stories.;)

Holy ****.

I would do it right and I am getting close to having enough stickers.
