I think the whole purpose of the wheels is to get you back to the car. I

really don't know anyone that has received a wheel change and got back on

with the peleton to finish in the points. At Mt Hood Classic, I had to wait

10 minutes for a wheel and I was lucky to get it to finish the race. That's

way better than putting in a tube (if you have one) or walking back to your

car in your cleats.

I don't want to sound negative, but I ride Campy 10-speed and I'm sure

there

are many more riders out there that ride Campy. Why should we have to pay

for Shimano wheels? Also, are there going to be 2 follow cars for every

category at every race? so everyone gets a fair shot at these wheels.

Just constructive comments, I do think the wheels are a great idea:)

 Quite the positive response to the new wheel program from OBRA! To make

things a little easier for the entire season how about if a $1.00

surcharge

 be attached to the entry fees for the races where these wheels and

services

 are provided. Seems to me that it would be easier to not "forget" this

valuable service as the season wears on. The OBRA staff then would be

able

 to disperse the funds much easier in my humble opinion.



What say ye of the masses?
