This is the bike I just replaced. I'll probably put it up for sale next month.

I had those carbon fiber spynergy rims....man they sucked.....didn't stay true, were noisy as hell and extremely inflexible. When a rock hits the leading edge of the carbon fiber spoke, it cracks it a tad....

I love my spinergy rims. I've had those for 5 years without any issues. I just bought a disc ready pair too, when I get some tires on them I'll post a picture.

Are you gonna keep those spacers in there or have you just not gotten around to cutting the fork? I think it looks horrible! :shock:

Nice hornet/yellow jacket theme you've got going there!

I'll probably end up cutting the fork down as soon as I know how much I like the SID race fork. If I end up not liking it I think it will sell better with it uncut. And I just wanted it together in a hurry.

A black stem would be better, but nice yellow/black combination!
