I will never apologise for my viewpoints- never, ever. I will have to say that sometimes I can come across as an elitist jerkwad.
In the end, I couldn't give a f*** less what someone runs on their bike. A "real" race wheel is something that is run on a bike in a race. I don't look down my nose at someone who rides a clincher. Hell, at my advanced age and declining fitness/health, the dude on a clicnher-equipped Huffy will kick my ass.
I hate to think that I had a part in Tibbs' deciscion to NEVER run a tub, though my elitist rant probably was quite instrumental in doing so. I think Tibbs speaks for many people.
Will I turn the corner and run a clincher? Not unless some great technology comes along to change my mind. Will I change my opinion of Michelin clinchers? Nope. What are my feelings about France? I am not telling, as I like the French people and most of their products quite well, and I have no public opinion on France's policy towards the U.S. in the war against Iraq/presence of WMD, nor will I state my opinion on WMD or Preemptive strikes/whatever.
Please accept my apologies. I wish to just help people out with my knowlege from being in the cycling world for as long as I have, and try to leave extreme opinions out of it.
