If drivers and riders spent more time worrying about their responsibilities than their rights then roads would be far safer.

The title doesn't say 'Should I go for carbon or alloy wheels' so please, lets not turn it into that.

Light Bicycle 88mm, 23mm wide 28 spoke tubs hold my 120kg backside up off the boards at 60km/h in the turns. Not quite the same as road shocks, but the Gs in the turns are big and they've suffered plenty of standing start and rolling sprints too. The guy who built them up, who apparently had done a stint with Zipp in his past had nothing but praise for their quality.

Wow,
I'm surprised. at 90 K plus bike I thought they'd be beyond my weight category. I don't go anywhere near that speed but Sydney roads are brutal at 30k/h
PS. What's te 88mm mean?
