Tell him to go on Odyssey's site and get the 48h Gsport/Odyssey rims for cheap. They'll hold up just as good and weigh half as much. They also won't be a bitch to get tires on.

I threw a Vandero 2 guard on my front wheel a few days ago, and it's been spinning like shit ever since. It used to be that I could give my wheel a good spin with my hand and it'd keep going for a few minutes. Now it'll go around a few times and come to a stop. I'm fairly sure that the wheel bolts are a bit bent, so that could be it, because it spins just fine when the wheel is loose.

I don't really notice it too much when i'm riding, but i'm assuming the rolling resistance is still there. Anybody have any other ideas why this is happening, or how to fix it?

Does it have the ghost pads on it?

I just can't imagine it being tweaked to mess up brakes with adjustable pads. You might have to get creative but it should still work.


One arm was hitting the frame and when I bent the arm my brakes wouldn't work right.  I put my old fly brakes on and all is well.

Midnight blue front brakes and levers, Ruben frame decal set applied. Pegs on soon enough.

de-anodized my blue Odyssey brakes (oven-cleaner, despite warning/recommendations), but looking at them today they'll need a second go.

Rode, back brakes won't stop. No way cinema 777 rim was made brakeless in mind.  Guess I gotta sand down the rim? Using clear fly brake pads. Did one foot pedal manuals

Oh hush :-P. I didn't sand anything except my pads, really.  

I'll figure it out, I'm just tired.
