what happened to him/where is he?
i haven't lurked here in ages but don't see any posts here by him since at least 2002.
quick question i would have asked him:
my 5yr-old mavic open pro rear rim just experienced a spoke ripping thru its wall, begging
replacement. what is the advisability of using the old spokes when lacing up the new rim? the alloy
nipples, some stripped, i will replace.
thanks for any pointers on that and jobst's status.

Yes, he can be a very witty fellow. Ah, if only he added the word "Humor" to the title of his reply
-- the Google database has way too many entries from him to ferret out those gems.
