    there is a supposed hill in Minnesota that will make you go against gravity. I think it has something to do with a sattellite or so.

    Is this a straight shot hill or a curved hill? I noticed that on turns my brakes rub on the wheel/

    That sounds like loose spokes. Dangerous. Get it checked out.

    That or she uses old spinergy rev x carbon wheels and corners so fast that the wheels warp.

    I'm dying to know the answer to this question. I hope she comes back.

    Maybe it's the spoke protector. Sometimes they rub on the cassette and that could do it. Last week I replaced a broken spoke protector, and when I was done, the cassette didn't turn at all. Had to take the new spoke protector off because that wheel didn't have enough clearance for it. You'd probably get a swishing noise while coasting from a bad spoke protector, and sometimes they break and flop around and make noise all the time.
    Oil is good, grease is better.
