cleaning is always a good time to inspect for damage...

took my old magnisium marvic wheels off the 748 and removed the tyres for a quick clean and polish and found all the rear spokes had sheared almost through !!!!!!!

cant clean enough now i say.........

Hmm, and there I was firmly considering a set of Mags for road use. Maybe, maybe not.

Its very symmetrical to be stress related

nathanhu · 17-Nov-2004, 22:05

keefer · 17-Nov-2004, 22:43
