True cyclists always shave their legs !!!

 

I never claimed to be a true road weenie. I'm a mountain biker at heart...and we do NOT shave our legs!!!!

 

I used to be a big downhill guy for a while but I managed to bust both my rims in a nasty crash...I want to get a set of spinergy wheels for my cannondale superV active but I haven't had the time to do so.....

 

Come on Bernadette, there is no shame in admitting to shaving your legs !!!

 

Tried to shave 'em once...got the razor stuck... :OUCH:

Led, why do you want Spinergy's? I can probably shop prices for you if you'd like if you know what you want. If you're worried about breaking them, I'd go with a set of build semi-downhill rims with heavier gauge spokes. Probably cheaper in the long run and not as likely to break on you...

If you're interested in having some wheels built up just give me the specs and I will have my friend build them for a pretty good deal. He builds rims for pro downhillers here in the Seattle area...

 

I liked their lightweight four-spoke rims,Brantley....half the weight of my bike was in the wheels...I was SO PISSED when they broke...but the stock components....new...for the $$$$ were not worth it...besides...I need to figure out how to transport a bike with a (WOOHOO) STOOK anyway

 

no shit......hmmmmmm

 

I'm familiar with the Spinergies. At least the newer ones are able to be trued. They're not that durable for mountain biking, though. The blades (spokes) are pretty thin and prone to some SERIOUS abuse on the trails...

Besides, unless you're racing you want something a little stronger than that. True, keeping rotational mass down is good, but durability is probably a little more important. Start with good components and have them built up by a good wheel builder and you can't go wrong...

 

I live by..."See the rock...AVOID the rock"

You more than all likely know better than I Brantley...

 

Yeah, I wish I'd avoided the rock that took a chip (albeit small) out of my front tooth...
