[RBW] FS: New Dyno Hub Wheel - Velocity Dyad, Shimano DH-3N72, Wheelsmith DB spokes

2010-05-22 Thread Boogarich
About a year ago I built up a wheel with the DH-3N72 and have been using it on my "around-town" bike. It's been working well so I built- up this new front wheel with the intention of using it on my tourning bike (Atlantis). Well - I decided that the shiny SON hub would look better with the rear

I'm running a 42 ring up front with a Phil fixed 17t in back currently, although I put a Dos Eno 16/19 on the original wheel set as well. I live in flat Northern VA, and never used the 34t ring up front, and decided I needed more gear inches than the stock 40/18 60 inches. I also had issues with

I rode the new set of tires for 65.4 miles today and LOVE them. 65 PSI was excellent. They are plush over coarse paving, climb very well, corner like a cat chasing its dinner and are as fast as anything else I could be riding. Pictures are the last several in this Picasa web folder. I like th
