Hugh,
Here's a quick observation from master wheel builder Bill Mould, who
inspected my abused White Industries MI5/Velocity Dyad wheelset:
Bill took a magnifying glass to each and every spoke hole and nipple and
found significant flaking and cracks. He recommended replacing the rim.
Next, he
Bill,
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on how that hydraulic lever/caliper
works as a tandem brake compared to a drag brake set up. My HHH has a Paul
Klamper linked to a DuraAce bar-end shifter on the stoker's bosco end. The
captain's controls are XTR V-brakes like yours. My stokers are

Your fender will eventually rub off the paint on the inside of both
chainstays. Rust will likely develop afterward.

May I ask, what did you hope to gain from the switch?
Are you breaking spokes and noticing wheel flex on the quick release axle?
If so, I'm not sure the Hillibike is what you need. Perhaps a smaller
diameter wheel, not a solid axle, would provide the strength you need.

Edwin,
I've tried two replacements, both 1". One was from Amazon and it was total
crap. The other was from JoAnn Fabric and it is perfect! The latter was
"non-roll" and after comparing the two, I now understand what that means,
i.e. the Amazon one was so thin that it rolls lengthwise, whereas
immediately replaced it.

med fine otherwise. I'm not sure that was advisable.

I didn't crash. By listening to and feeling the rim brakes I was forced to
remove the wheel before it completely failed. I'm not sure that would have
happened with disc brakes. However, perhaps I should have stopped using the
wheel earlier. I'm simply exploring one possible way that rim and
I'm not really concerned with what caused this particular crack. I'm more
interested in knowing whether rim brakes provide a sort of built-in wheel
health test once-per-rotation in a way that disc brakes do not. Ever since

René,
Your bike looks great! It is interesting to see the blue cables stand out
less on the complete build than they did in your first set of photos. I'll
be curious to see if my Klamper has issues like you describe. Before

Many thanks for posting these pics. I've been having sage envy and blue
regret after seeing the first and even latest photo from Grant. I'm now
really excited for this blue. Can't wait to put it up against the original
