MA2 rim cracking - what might be causing this?

imo, you still need to address the effect on reliability of running a rim at near yield, which is basically what you're recommending below. You still need to show that this is in fact "near yield." |

I always wondered if the knew something I didn't. |

When I moved from Chicago to SE Minnesota and, for the first time in my life, had decent sized hills to climb I used to be a trifle worried about those vultures circling over me. I always wondered if the knew something I didn't. There is not much blacktop in Central Australia, but the big birds of prey love the few main highways, especially the black kites. The blacktop provides paradise, thermal lift and food via roadkill. So they cruise down the road, rarely flapping. When they come to a cyclist, they invariably do one turn to check you out before sailing down the road ahead.. They have good eyes, so I figure they check the level in your water bottle.... Dear Mike, Tim, and Bruce, Here, the turkey vultures seem to commute up and down the Arkansas River valley between opposing bluffs. About two dozen roost every year in a fifty-foot blue spruce a few blocks away, probably because it sticks up above the rest of the trees in the neighborhood. Every evening in the summer, dozens of other vultures can be seen flying west over my house to other roosts. Occasionally they settle in the trees on my block. They're rather graceful birds, once they're aloft, and seem to enjoy aerobatics. Here's one that I knew slightly: http://www.chieftain.com/display/1023688800/lifestyle/1 I met Hurlly several times on my daily ride and found him to be a perfect gentleman, willing to move out of the way. He was eventually re-captured and placed in the zoo, having proved that he was going to keep pestering people on the nature trail for treats instead of joining the other vultures. The bald eagles do the same thing further west, fishing during the day at the reservoir and then flying even further up the river to distant roosts. They have a rather grim, dogged air as they fly past in a dead straight line. Carl Fogel |

Dear Rick and Tim, Your comments have convinced me--no threaded newsreader. Think of it as fixed-gear simplicity. Carl Fogel |
