Thank you!! *Some factory wheels, though, if put through proper alignment and re-tensioning, to spec, will definitely fare a bit better though.
*I've yet to see anybody able to unwillingly destroy any of the wheels I and any of my peers make.
Old school, Mavic/Dt (and the old Wheelsmith, not the current) certifications mean a lot as to what we all had to learn and go through to get those pieces of stamped, and framed paper.
**Anybody ever wanting me to build you a set, speak up. I might even let you watch and learn.
I'm not cheap, but I stand by my stuff, as do some I won't even bring up.
*Old set might end up still being available, at this point, only thing I need them for is rolling stock for now, until this set's built. Maybe $500 or so, with a service opportunity.
**LOL, estimated retail for the new set's $1,100 before tax!! Bling Baby, Bling!!
~The "estimated" weight's
* going to be in the neighborhood of 4.5 lbs before tires!!
*Side note, watch the new weight's on the '09 Mavics, both rims and completes!! Same with Dt's. They're also rumored to be working on the materials to fix the weaknesses. :)
