pitt83 - 2012-08-07 3:13 PM 10% penalty on top of the taxes makes that a last resort move. And if ou're over 35, the make up time is passed. You'll (assuming a historical yield of 8% in t market) never make that back. Equity in your home? Although, from what I understand, Vegas is still in the toilet for real estate. On the plus side, you've got no kids (I think). So you can t.ake the risk more easily. It's not for me. Despite my persona, I avoid lifestyle risk like that

Me too, but get jealous of people who do it and succeed.  I can dream.  But I am way too practical and we are NOT selling the house.  Rent it for sure and get another in CA.

I keep chicken s#itting out of opening a business. I know I could do it, but can't stomach the risk. Hell, I'm semi-retired at 51 practically working for myself with little pressure or oversight. But, my friend has an Ace hardware store in Virgina and is killing it. I know I could work that as whole areas around here drive 20+ miles to go to Home Depot.

Yeah, the dream of opening a little bike rental or burrito spot on the beach sounds fantastic.  Just pick up and move.  But realistically, scary stuff.  Kudos to those who are willing to take the risk.

But for every business that succeeds, there are probably dozens that don't and you lose everything.  I don't like those odds.

Owning your own business is only fun when all the people working for you are generating the all the money .. your income.  Otherwise you end up working like a dog and you don't even have anyone to resent and/or complain about! 

Right.  I'm just not the type to put in 12 hours a day just to scrape by.  Not enough passion or drive for that.  I like my liesure time too much!

I'm good thanks.  Another sweltering day in Houston.  I think the weather forecasters take August off and put Mother nature on cruise control down here.

Try us out here first. For one thing, we know everything. For another, at least you know to expect abuse from us

That's true.  Ok, simple question: is there any advantage to having a deep front wheel (think SRAM S80) to a tri-spoke front wheel (HED 3)?
