It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I agree!

And of course as I'm biking home after saying that I pop a tire, lol.

I'll also note for completeness that the warped front wheel was mostly rideable, if a bit rough, until I got my brakes done at a shop at 1500 miles. The rotor made a lot of noise with the new pads and rapidly exacerbated the wobbliness of the wheel. The guy said he sanded down the rotor, which may have contributed to the rapid deterioration. From then on I committed to working on my bike myself. With the new wheel I've gotten up to 6000km with no wobbliness.
