well I was going to ride the Barcroft on Peachy Keene tomorrow, but I'll be back on the Corsa for the first time in awhile. This past week I've noticed my front brake thumping and attributed it to a dirty rim, sometimes the dirt and rain runoff cause a buildup on the rims, But while cleaning the rim today I noticed the rim wasn't just dirty, but actually cracking and separating longitudinally along the sidewall. Hmm less than 2000 miles on these, and with the lower pressure of my 1.5" tires I don't think they would be all that stressed. Hoping Velocity covers the rim under warranty. I think I'm going to to take this opportunity to switch the bike back to a front disc and give up the 9, and 10 cog the capreo hub provides. I really don't use them all that much in practice. Once I finally got the hang of adjusting the rear disc brake I kinda like it. Take Care, Nelson.
