Spot on Rob, that's the thing people often don't realize not only are we paying for rego and not putting any wear or tear on the road surface but its also one car less on the road creating less traffic which allows those in cars to arrive at their destination quicker.
Hmmmm so what I'm thinking is all that don't ride should be thanking us lol
All good Clarko I just think generally there's a big picture.

Think the first one is better
Jonny I don't think my rims could take the punishment, I have already had 2 spokes come out & find at least one loose one every 2 weeks... even after a service by a pro bike shop
As explained to Russ there are bike shops that think they are pros and then there is good ones,one of my wheel builders is 75 years old,and ruled the cycling world in austrailia for 10 years,just for interest google Barry Waddel,the other one has 20 years of experience and if you saw what he does to pre stress your wheel after buiding it you may not like it but I tell you what spokes do not come loose in a hurry.
