"Okay John, have it your way.

My opinion: No, no their wheels are no better than any other good wheel builder. Why? Because all the "secrets" have been shared in the last twenty five years.

What's your opinion John?"

Related opinions are relevant reading on the list, too, are they not? Or, O.K., let's stick with some technical facts. What are the "secrets", then? That would be helpful reading. What cats have fled the bag in the last 25 years? Do Joe Young or Spence Wolf have any additional secrets that make the wheels better? We'd Have to ask them, directly, I guess, and I don't think they're talking. Or, are we talking about another "what makes Gios blue so blue?"
