Honestly, I have yet to see a better hub than the DT 240. They are reliable, reasonably light and build up very nice. Of the ones you are asking about, I like both the White and the Kings, you shouldn't have problems with either. Not thrilled about American Classic. They need to fix their...

That is awesome!

Very close to the same rates we charge in my shop. Our complete overhaul is 200 though.

A Blackburn full size frame pump on one bike and a Silca with a Campy head, painted to match my other bike. The Silca's are rebuildable and totally dependable and the Blackburn gets the job done, but doesn't last quite as long. I am going on 16 years on my Silca and after 7 years have had to...

Riders should be allowed when and where they wear their helmets.

That is so cool man! I have seen them in concert too many times to count, but have never met them.

Wise choice. I have never seen a Thomson break and very few bend. I have a standard on my Waterford 2200 and use them exclusively off road.

People that post their last training stats on Facebook or bore you in person with their power or heart rate or meters climbed stats. Shut up and ride!

I have had great luck with Garmin in the past. Had a couple units replaced free of charge after they went belly up within the first year. I would never buy another Look product after getting a royal run around after having a frame with an oversized seat tube sent to me. 6 weeks of running...

I charge 175-200 U.S. for a full build in my shop. I take from 2-3.5 hours and offer a free tune up within the first 30 days to touch things like the cables and spokes up.

Any ungreased post and frame will corrode. Carbon specific grease will prevent slippage. Always use a torque wrench with seatpost and stem/handlebar bolts. Grease will not harm most carbon seatposts. Check your posts manufacturer to make sure.

The watering down of the Giro course for the coming year. A boring World's course. Schleck. Pick one, they are interchangably dull. The Contador debacle that STILL isn't decided. AToC moving the race opposite the Giro...idiots.

Rush shuffle on iTunes. Everything they ever recorded.

One way to fix the problem would be to design courses where a TT bike would be a disadvantage. I can never get the image of Ole Ritter out of my mind riding the way he did. He was the epitome of smooth. No goofy helmet and no TT bike. I would rather see that then any body doing their best...
