Thanks for the info Gar…
I will contact Southern Wheel and see what i can do about ordering up a wheelset.
i used the wheel design tool at Universal Cycle; I designed a wheel with Sun Ringle aluminum 32 spoke wide body rims with Wheelsmith heavy gauge spokes, brass nipples, and CK heavy duty 12mm hub, this will set me back about 500 duckets for the rear wheel! So I guess I better drop down to that magic weight of 199 and see if I cant stop bending up rims!
Let you know what I come up with…
Flat rim James.
ps. love that ratcheting rear hub noise… does anyone else make a noisy hub that is not of pawl design?Hey Dogtown…

James Torrey Warner "Bulldog"Again…
thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is of great value to me!
Yeah, my entry level Rincon served me well, however it’s time to move on!
I can’t afford to drop an extra 3Gs on a new bike right now, so a used bike would be the way to go for me.
Someone else can ride it off the showroom floor all shinny and new, and pay the hefty tag price, and I’ll be satisfied with seconds.
That leads me back to choices, and there seams to be so many out there. I am 5’11" tall and around 220 most of the time… If I buy a full suspension all mountain bike, what platform would be the best for me to build on as I go? I tend to break things pretty quickly, and ride fairly hard uphill and down.
I keep seeing Trek Y frames, are these getting to old now to upgrade easily?
Any suggestions on brand and year to buy in the 15-1800 dollar range?
thanks again,
James.
