I decided to switch the wheels between my commuter fixie and my track bike. The fixie had some custom built wheels from Larry at Perfect Wheels and they ride really nice. My track wheels are the wheels that came with the bike.
My custom wheels have disco hubs which sparkle when light hits them but they were covered with a thick layer of gunk from commuting every day for two years without washing the bike. I went to take off the gear and it was totally stuck. I went over to Gregg's to have them remove it and they got it off with the help of the vice. The mechanic was handing me the wheel back and some of the dirt came off. "Wow, it sprarkles!" - it was like finding pirate treasure.
