I'll get some better, less greasy pics :-) I honestly didn't even think to replace just the rim.

comment Is it harmful to shift RD while climbing standing?
No broken spokes, but the rim cracked (the bright line in the 2nd pic) and bulged out. I only noticed because it started rubbing on the brake pad. Actually I knew it was a little warped for a while, but only in the last month have I been standing from stops and on hills. So could easily be cause and effect.

comment Advantages of higher quality cranksets
Maybe just my confusion. I wasn't sure you really meant better cranks would shift better; I guess that's where I started thinking gears.

comment Advantages of higher quality cranksets
The question asks about crankset, which I take it is combination of crank arms and chain rings. Your answer is (I think) aimed at chain rings only; what are the benefits of upgrading the crank arms in addition?

comment Patch or replace tube?
+1 for replacing with spare tube on the ride then patching it later. And once patched, put that tube back in the seat bag as another spare.

comment Should inner tube have excess length?
Yes, and I already +1'd you for it :-) I would have just added my comment to your answer if I could at the time.
