Hi list

I was there when Eddie Albert started racing in Canada. I was one of the guys that mostly rode and raced on fewer spoked wheels. Typically I would use 28's and yes I would get razed a bit for it.. but I never had a problem with the wheels failing - as they were built by Seigi Koch.

Still in my fleet of wheels.. and hubsets that date to the mid 70s and early 80s... are 24o Campy high flange, 24o Mavics and a few sets of 28s Campys.

My favorite set has always been the Campy high flange 24o's.
