Tulio Camapgnolo was a...I care. and you should too. Tulio Camapgnolo was an innovator who cared about how shit got done. I don't care who you are, some of his tenacious attitude has been pored in to every technological innovation we have seen thus far. Sure you used a typewriter, he used a computer in comparison (always innovating). The tech is in fact NOT improving. The advances in technology have led us further from what WORKS and more in to what SELLS. If you are worried about how long your wheel lasts, then perhaps you are doing it wrong. I am still truing wheels that were built 20 years ago. Still stopping on a dime. If you get 20+ years out of a wheel (or even 20,000 miles), then I see that as being better than replacing my 20+ year old frame. Just saying, seems to me that I could justify maintaining what works (and replacing it if need be down the road) then replacing it when my equipment has been deemed "obsolescent" It is a matter of choice... if you want the latest and greatest, then by all means buy new shit. If not, rock it till the wheels fall off.

The tech is improving. I want nice wheels on my bike that I don't destroy/ wear out in the braking process. I'd rather replace rotors and pads than rims don't I???? Who cares how Tulio et al did it??? I used a typewriter in college, who cares???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682194380088438234.post-3100566992651456492013-12-19T11:53:27.145-05:002013-12-19T11:53:27.145-05:00You are correct, I just figured it would be easier...You are correct, I just figured it would be easier for the novice to understand by using a simpler term to illustrate the point. We use the term to describe the phenomenon to users without over loading the customer with information. <br />Information overload can be a bit befuddling to those who are new to the technology. Thank you for the input. <br />-Jason Topcheese911https://www.blogger.com/profile/05198990695738920222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682194380088438234.post-4311787608482513892013-12-19T10:05:23.516-05:002013-12-19T10:05:23.516-05:00"As heat builds up in a brake rotor, it can g..."As heat builds up in a brake rotor, it can glaze the surfaces of both the pads and rotor, making it impossible to stop." This is right and wrong. Organic pads glaze only when they are not bedded in properly or are not applied at a firm enough pressure. The problem is the loss of friction coefficient due to the increase of heat. All pads regardless of what they are can loose friction due to heat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682194380088438234.post-72736937865318303422013-12-18T16:32:18.451-05:002013-12-18T16:32:18.451-05:00As of 12-18-2013, the cluster fuck has grown.
