Gluing is the "preferred" method. With this being your first time, I would not necessarily recommend you doing this yourself. Your LBS should be able to do it no problem. We recommend the Continental glue...don't use Mastik...we've had some problems with their chemicals damaging the carbon.

And valve extenders? Recommendation? Then I'll stop bothering you. This clearly hasn't been worth it for YOU.

Are you kidding? Advice to my customers and prospective customers is why I do this!! This is the best part of the job. As you can imagine, I stock several different types of valve extenders. I also have them in silver, black, gold and red. Just tell me what you prefer, and I'll send them out to you for only $13...including shipping!!

I didn't see this on your website. Do you also sell tires?
Re: PLANET X: **INSANE** CHRISTMAS DEALS [imsparticus]

If it's listed as special order I'm guessing that's just as bad as out of stock and is no go for the deal?

Wow, that was uncalled for. Hasn't he answered every one of your questions??
Re: PLANET X: **INSANE** CHRISTMAS DEALS [gibson00]

Sorry. Misunderstood. I was not dissing him. I was trying to convey that I buy a wheelset from him and then I hit him with a hundred questions. My point was that after having to answer all my questions, the sale probably wasn't worth it to him. He has been GREAT in responding to my many posts and has also answered several PMs I sent him. Sorry if it looked like I was attacking him or ungrateful. Strictly a miscommunication. He has been great. I have been a pain in asking so many questions.

Can I order a complete set - rims, valve extenders, tires, skewers, cassette?
Re: PLANET X: **INSANE** CHRISTMAS DEALS [johnnybefit]
[ In reply to ]
Absolutely!! So, you know the price of the wheels as listed. The valve extenders, carbon specific brake pad and skewers are $42 for all 3. I have the Vittoria Corsa EVO CX tires in stock (only 2 left), and I will mark those down from $150 to $140 for the pair, and the cassette will depend on the kind you want. The tires are the NEW Vittorias, with 320tpi. I have a LOTof the 2010 Sram Force Powerglides in stock, and will offer that for $62. Let me know!!

Yes...we do sell tires as well. My 'high-line' are the NEW Vittoria Corsa EVO CX, 320tpi tubulars...I'll sell the pair for $140. If you want a good training tire, I sell the Schwalbe Milano's for $90 for the set.

Are the 82/101 Wheelset the equivalent to a Zipp 808/404 in terms of depth and weight? This seems like a great deal, what I am missing here

You are correct...what's missing is that Zipp certainly has a nice advantage with their patented dimpled technology. Zipp is an outstanding wheelset if you can afford them. These PX 82/101's are ALSO fantastic wheels, and are used by MANY of my pro's. Head to head in the wind tunnel...Zipp likey comes out on top. Last comparison...Zipps cost about $2,000 more.

Can I get the road frame with BB30?
Re: PLANET X: **INSANE** CHRISTMAS DEALS [len727]

PM me with the component group you're looking for as well as the wheel type (alloy or carbon) and I'll put together a package for you that you CAN'T say "no" to...
Re: PLANET X: **INSANE** CHRISTMAS DEALS [wesclimb]

Sorry...no BB30
Re: PLANET X: **INSANE** CHRISTMAS DEALS [planet-x-usa]

Sorry for my ignorance but doesn't the 82/101 refer to rim depth and if so wouldn't these match up the Zipp 808 an 1098?

I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a bike, but I'd like to speak to a person to verify a few things. Is there any way I can speak to a person to ask a few questions first? I sent an email from the website. Please call. I'm at a Chicago area code.

Could you offer the 50mm tubular front in all black, no decals?

Is there a special on the Uncle John CX bike? I see it on the website but was not listed here.
