I'm getting increasingly irritated with "WHEEL" adds that are placed under "RIMS" and vice versa (to a lesser extend):

  1. A wheel without a tyre is still a "COMPLETE WHEEL" !!!!  (a lot adds like this)
  2. A rim without a hub & spokes is a "RIM" not a wheel  (a few adds like this)  

If it contain a rim, hub & spokes its a WHEEL, if its only a rim (no hub and spokes) its a RIM.  How difficult is that to comprehend?

Anyone reading this and you need to place a rim or wheel add in future, PLEASE get it right .... 🙈🤪☺️

@Matt is there anything you guys can do to force guys to post adds in the correct category?  In the past I did sent PM's requesting to fix, put I'm just over it, there are way too many for wheels & rims, in fact, I think the majority of RIM adds are actually complete wheels !!!

So much you could have done in the time it took you to rant about something you can never change.

It's my pet peeve too, along with people who refer to cycling shoes and/or pedals as cleats. 

Then again, we all started somewhere. 

or saying rim break instead of rim brake.
