at Naults in Manchester Favorite Ride:
Hurricane Mt. Road in North Conway Bike Setup:
Stock Giant OCR3 with replacement Truvative bottom bracket. Summary:
Wheels came stock on my Giant OCR-C3. IT's a good solid wheel set that has lasted me over 6500 miles. I'm not a racer, but was able to keep up in a large peloton at 24 MPH in a 175 mile bike event in Philly.
I hit a 4" concrete edge in a sunken drainage grate in Buffalo, Wy which instantly flatted my rear tire and flared out the rear rim a good 1/2 inch. Bent the rim back with some vice grips and it's been good to go. Slapped some Continental Gatorskins on them, and it's been 3,000 miles between flats since. Strengths:
Tough wheel. spokes are still strong and rims pretty true (not counting the vice grip bending), low maintenance. Weaknesses:
Rear axle is hard to adjust for bearing tension.
