moe....i'm running those same wheels. I love them, and got a pulley to match. By the way, spent some time on the alignment tonight and think I have it nailed. I am going to end up running a 3" axle spacer on the pulley side.

Very nice job you have going there. I think if you check with BB he might know where you can pick up one of his pink shirts to match
That's going to be an awsome bike .
