was kind of like a sneak peek of what is to come. Glad to know I

Sorry I missed it. Sounds like a great group. Maybe next time I can
make the trek across the pass to join in. Stayed on the dry-side

So for those of you who are using IRD freewheels with your PW hubs,
what are your thoughts on the QC issues that IRD has had. The folks
