Since Dad's always get screwed for X-mas; last year I got socks and a button down shirt? This year I'm ordering up myself a new set of single speed wheels and would like to buy local instead of thru the internet.

I'm looking for a set of Stans (26) Flow wheels with White Industries Eno on the rear and Hope Pro 2 on the front.

Any good referral's would be appreciated.

By the way I rode Waterton Canyon> Rox loop on Saturday (didn't see another soul) on the 29er and conditions are ripe for some good snow riding. Lowered the PSI in the Rampages to 15, the Gordos helped out quite a bit in the snow.

Nice report on Waterton... how early did you ride and how deep was the snow? Mostly ridable?

I'd give the guys at Alpha a call to see what they can do for you - 303-220-9799.

I was up at Lenny's bench about 10:00am. The snow is around 6 inches deep up there,mostly packed down. I was able to ride about 95% of the loop.

Just got a quote from Alpha, thanks.

Don't worry, dad. Mom says that every year.

I had Alpha build up mine w/ Stans Flow 29er on Pauls hubs w/ DT DB spokes last spring and they are still straight as an arrow.

So true. But this year is going to be different, I can feel it. Once she opens the snuggy I got her, she'll drag me straight to bed.

Larry from Mountain High Cyclery just built me a set of Flows and I am loving them.

He is very reasonably priced and a great guy to deal with.
