sounds like a bubble or a rim that is not true. "you aint racin if you aint rubbin"
Janderson:
I only have my set, but I would find it very odd if your bike shop cant get something to work out. There are probably several shops you could call that should have an experienced tech that has a solution. dont sweat my pet. It will work out one way or the other ;)

[Jand3rson]

I'm sure we'll probably figure something out, it's just so annoying. I bought these rims like 6 months ago, and had to stare at them just sitting in my house because I didn't have the spare cash for hubs and to have them built. So I finally get hubs ordered, take everything down to get built, and 10 minutes later the guy calls me back with this.

[Jand3rson]

All is well, the shop building them just called me back and said they got a hold of Mavic, and they had one, so they're dropping it in the mail today.

Anyone know like a website where I can find a 24x1 520 tire. It's for my '87 nishiki prestige.
I'm trying to find like a white tire or any colors at all in that size.

That gear ratio is insane. I bet he has some seriously slow takeoffs. My 13 tooth is difficult enough
