QUOTE(Joseph Mills @ Jul 18 2006, 08:41 PM)  My favorite is the Lightspeed hardtail with micro XT. Next to it is the full suspension AMP B4 with full on XTR. It's only a pound heavier than the litespeed. WOW How have you atached the bikes to the car?? |

Current bike Specialized Alez Comp/shimano ultegra. Very good, although I still break spokes on it. Hopefully this aluminum alloy is more durable than my last Klein frame. I was riding one day and it felt weird. I got off and looked. The frame was cracked nearly in half. Fortunately I didn't discover this while descending a mtn, or something like this could have happened:
doh! doh! doh! doh! doh! |

Well,
I had a Gios Torino with a Campy and Shimano set up back in the late 80's and 90's. I used to race alot back then. Now, nothing, but I am actively looking for a decent bike to hold my large frame - see FAT BASTARD, and get back down to where I should be. Surgery and deployments to Iraq put a damper in those activities. Stay between the ditches!! Ian |

brp, I've been reading up on wheelbuilding - gonna do a set soon - and most spoke failures are due to too low spoke tension. Probably from machine-built wheels...get a tensiometer and check tensions, then retention the spokes. A tight wheel is a strong wheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
