Trade You My Shimano WH-R550 For Your Wal Mart Wheels?
The more I ride the more I hate 'technological advancements' in the world of cycling. Against my better judgment I maintain a Surly Pacer road bike. Road rides provide a nice break from hitting the dirt. The shifters and complex parts always cause me problems, but none more than the Shimano WH-R550 Wheels, which have now suffered from three broken spokes. Conclusion, they are absolute crap! Even my wife, queen of pampering her bike by finessing her way over bumps and dips, has broken a spoke on her WH-R550 wheel!
This isn't so much a rant about a crap product but rather a precaution to help fellow cyclists from falling into the same sinkhole. Of course I'd advise against any sort of non-singlespeed wheel but I recognize they have their place.... Shimano's place being in the trash can of course.
