sounds exactly like what happened to my brother. He was told that theives do this to try and total the cars so they can possibly buy them back at auction and often put the parts they stole off of them right back on.

The noodly part is not a myth. At the same diameter, the increased elasticity of the material makes them stretch more under load. To avoid having spokes come lose all the time from nipples twisting because of unloading, you have to increase the spoke tension. That increases the likelyhood of failure either on the bend or, more likely, the thread.
They seem largely made for BMX bikes these days. I wouldn't be shocked if he was putting 20" wheels on his MTB.
Ti is plenty tough I doubt they would be fragile, however the less stiff the material is, the more load is placed on the first few threads where it is fastened. Nipple blowouts can be a problem, and no fun I can tell you that.
wow, seven whole inches....better call in the national guard and stock up on bread and milkProper shit forecast for the next weekend.Spokes for the new wheel build may be here before then so that's nice.

Snow is not the problem, the rain and warm temps are.
Give me teens and 8ft of snow for a month, please.
Exactly.
We've been transitioning between rain and snow the last few days......which really just means every time I walk outside there's a 2-3ft wall of slush pushed up at the end of the driveways by plows.
You know you got a monster when your snowblower trucks right through that shit, throws it well across the street while the neighbors are having to move it by shovel fulls because their blowers won't work. And every one of them stops what they're doing and stares.....
I HAVE THE MOST COMPENSATED PENIS ON THE BLOCK!!!

Ok yea, I'm pretty tired.
Don't listen to these n'er do wells... ALL-NIGHTER!!
Finished, albeit a bit longer than I anticipated it taking. Work sprinkled in throughout the day, school/daycare pickup and unplanned trip to AutoZone for sway bar links will do that.
wat
map for traffic? Wasn’t bad really, just people generally going an appropriate enough pace given snow on the road and falling.
Me? Yeah, slow as fuck and talent-less as shit, I'll be fine.I've seen him ride.....I think he'll be ok.
Don’t sell yourself short, friend…you are ugly, too.Me? Yeah, slow as fuck and talent-less as shit, I'll be fine.
Lol, like I can talk!
