Finished Wheels

So I finally finished those wheels I have been building up. Aluminum nipples suck. Building with them sucks. These wheels shave nearly 200 grams off of my Mavic Ksyrium SSL's. The Chris King rear hub is actually quieter on the road than I had thought, but I'm sure it'll get louder as the grease thins up in the freehub. Here is some eye candy. Blue was the right color. And yes, I know I need to cut the rear skewer axle. Damn Salsa making one size fits all rear skewers.

don't cut the rear skewer axle. It's never given me a problem... just long enough that it's not worth cutting.
