So, what is demotivating about this: that pre-production...

Wood is a poor example I feel, simply because a wheel isn't as malleable nor is it a substrate in the most desperate of ways. Rather I've always felt the idea of a well tensioned and tuned percussion...

Apologies, it is a story I've said so often over the years, and I'm never one to repeat a story to someone who has already heard it, so I typically err on the side of saying it too little.

They are plenty strong enough, provided they're installed correctly. Biggest issue in my opinion is if the bicycle itself can handle the strain applied to that area if it's not designed for it. As an...
