okay joker....here i go spittin some knowledge...
1.radio lace in front wheel is great. the idea with the back is crap. the fact that is really doesnt make sense and it won't make it stronger. go tradiational for the back.
2.velocities on the phill wood are the best that you are going to get. you can beat them to death and you will still have a good wheel. just ask my boyfriend!
3. bull horns. pursuit bars are cool, don't get aluminum, they'll snap right where the stem is. just ask my boyfriend! if you fina steel ones, call my boyfriend! hehehehe http://www.12ozprophet.com/ubb//biggrin.gif'>
4. for the ratio, but the back cog up to a 17. it's still 3 to 1 but it's easier. you can still get up hills without any trouble, most of the time. and you won't spin out.
5. go fixed.... http://www.12ozprophet.com/ubb//biggrin.gif'>
hope this helps. me go to bed now. goodnight san francisco, the qween has left.
