You need to check out www.neuvationcycling.com. ?I have been really pleased with their wheels and their responses to questions.


Jim,

My bike tech expert, Helluvaskier is a fan of Neuvation. Which of their rims do you ride? Road Bike Reviews are interesting to read on these rims as some love, some trash. Their website recommends riding 700x25 tires at less than 140 psi as a means of softening rides and that's something I've done for a while.

Titanium, my thoughts are it makes a great bike material, damp, light and strong. I think the highpoint of Ti frames was prior to, or at the onset of, the development of the carbon fiber frames. As the pro's ride carbon frames and that's where all the "buzz" is, Ti's luster been reduced.  Also, the new carbon designs are very cool to look out, where Ti has the dated traditional look. If I ever come across one on craigslist, I might go ride it and see what happens.

Philly Craigslist has a Moots MTB for $2500. Makes Ron's offer on his old Trek a great buy!
