I scored a set of Mavic Open Pro rims for free when buying another wheelset on Craigslist. The guy just threw them in. I built them up with some Ultegra 6500 hubs and it's a strong, straightforward, and reasonable light wheel set that is adjustable and rebuildable with standard tools. I don't

I'll second the RC-540 use, in fact I have an early Riv wheelset with these. The rear rim has a few issues but is still running strong. I was able to secure a backup replacement for it from RBW but I haven't yet needed to relace. Joe Bunik Walnut Creek, CA On 4/12/22, Andrew Turner wrote: >

Shaking fenders won't make your bike mishandle in corners, something else is causing that. As others suggested, check tire pressure, wheel bearing adjustment, fork bearing adjustment, or a wagging rear load (and even a wagging rear load has to be pretty heavy to upset cornering). As to SKS

There are so many possible sources for *disheartening and weird *wobbles. It seems to me that fenders are an unlikely culprit. My instinct is the same as Joe's RE: the front rack. It could also be something as simple as the tyre pressure getting a bit low in the front wheel. On Tuesday, 12
