[John Rogers]

The wheels are trued and let sit and even rode on a bit then trued again then soldered. Those spokes are stainless, stainless wire to bind them and a special alloy solder to fasten them together. They are for track use only as they have NO flex, about as stiff as some of the carbon fiber wheels made today. If you wreck then all joints are unsoldered, bad spokes replaced and all done over again. With these wheels I won my first track sprint race in 1984 against Bob Zumwalt JR won was veteran national champion at the time. I nearly flipped the bike end over end as I started to try and coast which you can NOT do on a track bicycle! Those Campy hubs were made in 1979 and still have original bearing, smooth as silk in them with Campy grease!
