Hello: I bought (new $1100,-, sold as $ 420,-) the following brand new
road racer:
cgi.ebay.at/FRANCESCO-MOSER-Rennmaschine-LUXE_W0QQitemZ5111499939QQcategoryZ9194QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It is 9 years old, though, the 70 year old seller never used it (it was
a gift).
Now I am a bit worried since it escaped my attention that the v-rims
feature only a few spokes. I red somewhere that v-rims with very few
spokes (below 24 for my weight of around 72 - 75 kg) are lethal on the
road. And v-rims with few spokes must be checked every 500 km.
I ride about 8000km with my mountainbike on the roads. I thought it is
a good idea to do it nex time with a road racer.
Should I worry?
Schneewittchen
PS. Also the clearance between rear tyre and vertical tube is very
tiny. Is this a problem in the long run?
