I am not sure I can believe that engineering tolerances were better 40 years ago. Taking the car industry as an example, engineering tolerances think of the difference in the engine between an Austin Princess and something like a Ford Focus. It is night and day. I appreciate that the Bike industry is not the Car industry, but a lot of the tooling and engineering has trickled down.
Neither do i, thats why i said 'Tongue in cheek'
...but they really did spin well.
Yellow, my apologies for the wording of my previous. You really are very knowledgeable, but again, we'll have to disagree.
If you give me a choice of wheels that spin or ones that are 'sluggish', i'll take the ones that spin time after time after time. You MAY be correct, free spinning wheels MAY indicate they are indeed worn....if thats the case, my wheels have been worn since i fitted new bearings and improved their ability to spin freely. This is what i want from my wheels, the ability to spin freely.
Telling me that makes no difference is unimportant to me...and IMHO, wrong. Wheels that freewheel to a stop quite quickly , or wheels that keep going...and keep going. Thats what i want, thats what i have, nothing you can say will change my opinion on that.
Please...its supposed to be an informal forum, i overstepped the mark a bit, but your manner of questioning peoples opinions and experiences is borderline insulting.
We've been here before..i will try to change my irritation to your manner, perhaps you'll modify the way you question peoples real experiences.
