Slight rant. Don't like logos on my wheelset.

I just bought an inexpensive pair of road wheels. Dammit, do they have to be stickered up like something from a triathlete bike at the Ha'waii Ironman? I know they're cheap-charlies, just something to get through the winter on my wet bike; now I have to advertise that fact to every knowledgeable roadrider out there that I'm NOT on rovals or enve's? In fact, even if they were expensive, they'd still look ridiculous, it's just that then it would be pretentious instead of pathetic.

And, of course, 95% of the sticky goo stayed when I pulled off the stickers, so an hour or so per wheel with goo gone to look forward to....

(The good thing though, it's amazing what you can get for very little money in a road wheel these days. Just wish there was an sticker delete option.)

Now get off my lawn! Rant over.
