    Thanks for the advice. Hopefully they will last me a long time. The rims are Made in Taiwan, so I'm not expecting much out of them.

    36T vs. 44T sprocket

    I did some riding today and played alot with the gears on some small inclines/downhills, and flat roads. Like you said I think a 44T/22T give a pretty good range for my bike, so I think I'm gonna stick with it (I have pretty strong legs). Hey, I notice alot of you guys ride w/o chain guards...

    Well, since the factory is in my backyard

    My most of my family worked in the GM plant here in NY, before it closed in the early 90's. Like most people in my neighborhood which most of it's residents ( and myself) were of Slovak/Italian descent, our families came off the boat to work at the plant. My Grandmother built tanks there...
