Last night I repaired a compressor in the wee hours, had to give it a blast at 4am to check it, not too popular with the old trout!

I have several wheels with snowflake pattern. I think almost all my wheels are snowflake. I think it is cool and different. You like them or not. Had some nice remarks about them and some people don't like them. I really do and they are really strong. I use them front and rear. And i am a heavy dude and they stay true. Even my wife has snowflake wheels in her bike. I even think to do it with my roadbike. But first rebuild the Hügi hub before i build the rear wheel.
