Tinkering with bicycles is like gardening with steel and aluminum.
I like fooling with bikes, but sometimes I put off starting a project because I’m afraid of ending up with a half-torn-apart bike for six months because something doesn’t work out.
My big idea with this ASC wheel was to not rip apart the Quickbeam, a main bike that has no shifter bosses or cable stops, and instead tear down the Bridgestone RB-2 I’m already kind of mad at.
