RobG - light, healthy boyd wheels :)

Did you try out your Timeless 5s yet?

I would love to see a photo.


BTW, I now have a very, very valid reason to change to light rims. For some strange reason, when I was installing my JL airbox, I managed to twist just right, bend, contort, or something and ended up causing my left lung to collapse while removing the wheel. Holy f uck was that painful -- I thought I was going to die, seriously. Just got back from hospital tonight... and I'm in the market for lightweight rims... lol.

I tried one on and it looked goofy. Skinny spoke wheels on a big truck don't mix I guess. Still, taking off 30 lbs. per wheel might be something to reconsider. I don't need a collapsed lung or hernia.

Feel better dude

I'm serious... I twisted some way or bent some way wierd. I thought I pulled a muscle in my back so I sat down. Within about 10 minutes, the pain was indescribable. I thought I was having a massive heart attack. I couldn't move or breathe for quite a while...

I just moved into a new house and have been unpacking heavy chit and moving stuff into the attic (had to lay down sheets of 4x8) for the last 12 days or so. I have been staying up doing this until 2-3 AM every day and then getting up at 8 or so to go to work. I guess the fatigue finally got me.

My health is quite good. 6', 170lbs, 120ish over 60ish B.P., sitting pulse of low 50s...

I guess wierd things happen sometimes.

Ken

So, Rob,

Maybe you will sell your timeless 5 and look into something else?

what about something like the bonspeed crokus?
