I tried to do that once and really screwed things up. Not sure I'd be willing to try again but the article was cool nonetheless.

Good article but I'm thinking if Sara is lacing them I'll pay instead of doing my own work every time :laugh:

LOL!

There were extenuating factors at the time... like me pouting :)

BTW, I want the girl who helps with the suspension as my tech. She's hot... I mean knowledgeable!

I'd pay $50 bucks to see you two rigged out in the EXACT same outfit as Sara-.

Did any body notice how the wheel became shiny and new again once the old spokes were removed? I mean, after you wiped the slobber from your faces coveting her shoes?
That is some magic spoke removal and oiling going on there!
