i'm sure it's doing just fine. does lisa ever ride her bike(s)? ;)

Hopefully I will get to this year...I think I only got 2 days of downhilling in before I broke myself again...:( Now all I have to do is get my front wheel to turn with the new hubs...there used to be a spacer or something on the front wheel when I had the hugi hubs...and now it's off kilter...not sure if I need a new spacer, but it looks like if there is a new spacer, it'll be too far over... :think: Guess I better git it into the bike shop with all the lovely weather we're having...

edit...oh and F you! You think I liked being busted up for two friggin seasons! bastard!

Kyle used Mr Garrison's balls for his Negroplasty. It reminded me of you....
Dude! I totally thought of you when I was watching that!!! I was laughing and the GF looks at me like, "What's so funny?". I just smiled and laughed.

I looked on the internet (cause it's all true on the internet!) and found out that the doctor on South Park doing the negroplasties and such is a real sex change doctor. (Well, they used his name anyway) He's done like hundreds of sex change surgeries. That's a lot of discarded balls! :stosh:

DHG, Your wheelset rocks! :drool: Price be damned, they're PINK!!!

Ya'll need to head over to http://www.oddsandendos.com and talk to Mike G. He'll hook you up with a handbuilt set of the Laser Disc Lites laced to Velocity VXC rims for under $375. I rode this setup on my xc rig for over 2 years and never had a single problem. And the entire setup weighs around 1600g.

Good advice. Never heard a complaint about Mikes wheels. He does good work. My Bud Mike is a super clydesdale and he runs a wheelset built by Mike. Nothing special really, just a well built wheel. Light too....jdcamb

I've heard a lot of good things about oddsandendos. But still that's almost $200 more than the original wheelset that Stosh posted the link to - is it worth it? It could be if the rider is going to ride a ton - if the rider is a weekend warrior type of rider, than perhaps it is not. Whattya think?

For a beginner, probably not. Although, these days I have to consider myself a weekend warrior. I don't get out much, with my busy schedule and all, and I would say that for me the ones from Mike are well worth it. Cutting down on that rotational weight is key for a front range rider who doesn't ride that much. I need all the help I can get. ;)
