|   Should I sell a race wheelset to my huge stupid friend? | acm2002
Sep 3, 2002 6:30 PM | | I'm trying to sell my 517/XTR wheelset because I'm getting discs, and my 220 lb friend just clumsily broke his last spare wheelset today (foot went into the spokes off a jump) Can I in good concious sell him this wheelset. It has double butted spokes, and XTR hubs are pretty strong...anyways tell me what you think. He could easily get an LX/rhyno lite wheelset for less than what I was going to sell them for $175. And he wouldn't break them as easily..maybe. |
| Some friend you are | SlowBob

This sale may cause you to pinch flat at your next race. |

Sep 3, 2002 9:13 PM | | No, no, no, no, no! If you truly call this person a friend you will insist that he buy the lx/rhyno lite wheels and sell the spindly race wheels to some smuck you don't know! This buddy of yours sounds like a clydesdale and clumsy to boot. He'll kill the racing wheels in short order and probably be pissed with you. |

Your friend sounds more like a Rhyno man to me.
Out of these three, what doesn't fit?
1. Huge guy
2. Stupid guy
3. 517 |
| Sheesh, what do you consider a friend. | tlg
Sep 4, 2002 3:36 AM | | Are you just that inconsiderate or do you really have no "friends"?
You should print out your message and let your friend read it. That way he has all the information and he can make his own choice. |
