LEW wheels

We are waiting on the 08 Shimano rear wheel, but the front one we have up at the shop is incredible. It is an engineer's wheel more than the Obermayers which we also have (owned by the boss, but are nice display pieces). Apart from being incredibly light, they have all the nice little features for speed. And the bearings feel incredibly smooth.

Send them to me. The country roads I ride make Nelson's Ledges look mirror-smooth.

In keeping with the thread re: the Lightweight breaking in the collision with the dog, there is this:

LEW wheels has asked me to be their official, uhm, Crash Test Dummy. LEW wants to demonstrate, in real world conditions, the durability and repairibility of their wheels. As such, LEW would like people to suggest real world tests they'd like to see done. Note that these tests are not lab tests. They'll have a quasi-real person, i.e. me, on the bike, performing the "test." The vids will be posted to YouTube.
