Bill,
I don't believe this has been brought up. Yes, perhaps kickback and diameter
are issues in comfort, but so is rim thickness! I have what I believe is an
orig Derrington wheel and the rim is probably 30-40% thicker than the stock
wheel. I don't know about the Lempert wheels (my personal favorite is the
Pennell wheel :) but this wheel is much more comfortable to handle than the
orig one was.
