Sounds like a waste of money, but it's innovation and I will always support that.

It was 15° and snowing on my way to class. I'll trade you.

Why would I want to do that?

Well, this is practical.

I've bicycled 400 hours this year. Seems like a waste of time when you put it that way.

I've ridden 262 according to Strava, but I don't use that for every ride.

Amazing that it was 62° yesterday

I had forgotten how cold 16° was until I had to ride in it this morning and couldn't find the outer shells Ti my winter gloves.

I've been kicked out of a Taco Bell drive thru on my bike. It was BS.

I noticed a crack in my rear rim. Bummer.

Is something up with DT Swiss rims? That's the second time this has happened. I'm not a heavy person.

DT's quality has dropped a little lately. Their spokes aren't the best anymore.

It's 7+ years old, so not an indicator of current quality.

Is that a reflection of the brand? Or does it happen to most of them, given enough miles?

7 years is pretty respectable for a rim.
