Brian if I had paid 5K for Magnesium wheels I wouldnt put $10 rim stickers on them either

LOL touche' ! Although, I just don't like them on any bike. Added unsprung weight, of course ...

The bracket is still there, because it holds the cable for the wheel sensor. So it looks like I need to find some small stainless cable clamps, so I can do away with the bracket, lose some unsprung weight too!.
