Sorry! Didn't mean to sound patronising - I'm not like this outside of forums!
I find it really annoying when I read about people who buy quite expensive wheels, have lots of spoke failures and end up going to pay to have the wheel "fixed" by bike shops. When I was in the trade I would have been embarrassed to have sold wheels that weren't at least checked before someone left with them.0 -
98% done with the upgrades on my bike (just need new stem). It rode nice before, but rides, veeeeeerrrrry nice now. It's not that flashy, but a solid all around bike for the road.

ah, Wilier... love them "Viva l'Italia, liberato e redento"
Such a change from the typical Eponymous Company Names (Colnago, Pinarello, De Rosa, Cippolini, Fondriest and all the hundreds of others...0 -

Compared to that luminous dog-vomit onesie that he was wearing in an earlier post, they're quite subdued...

Nice!! Defeet are made down the road from me and I ride with the owner quite frequently. Really love their wool socks for the winter time, in fact I may swing by the factory today and pick up a few pair :-)0 -
Vittoria Cross XG Pro - new rubber for the CaadX #tubeless #cyclocross by The Big Yin, on Flickr
Going to be running them with tubes initially, still not 100% convinced that dropping 50 beer tokens on the Stans kit is going to be worthwhile in terms of weight saving/rolling resistance - main improvements as far as 'cross seems to be related to pinch puncture prevention and the ability to run at lower pressures for grip. Well - at 110kg+ low pressure is sort of a relative thing, even in terms of grip...0 -
Brown Santa stopped by and left me a present while I was out on my lunchtime training ride. This is going on the 'cross bike.

very nice, very spendy for the 'crosser as well... thought I was bad enough, sticking the stages on the CaadX for winter...0

My road bike has a Power2Max on it but I've been training primarily on the 'cross bike the last few weeks. Due to the proximity of a large park full of gravel roads to my office, my main training bike for the winter will probably continue to be the 'cross bike. Certainly my main weekday training bike will be. That all being the case, I figured I'd just go ahead and get a PM for it so I can move away from having to do a lot of my workouts based on Heart Rate.very nice, very spendy for the 'crosser as well... thought I was bad enough, sticking the stages on the CaadX for winter...
Oh, and I like toys.

It's one of the reasons I got the Stages TBH - as long as I'm running some form of hollowtech II road cranks on my bikes (in a 172.5mm) then I can just swap the non-drive crank from one machine to the other. The Stages is pretty much embalmed in helicopter tape to prevent rubbing/scratching from road grit/mud/my occasionally wobbly pedalling stroke when offroad.
Probably not going to help if I decide to treat myself to the DeRosa I've been promising myself if I ever get to my target weight, as I'm damned if I'm going to put anything other than Campag on a thoroughbred italian frame.0 -
Yeah, that's me and the Bianchi Oltre I will eventually get. Gonna have to be Campy all the way.0

Nice!! Any reason why you went with the Quarq over another P2M?0
