    Yes they are Fulcrum Racing 5's
    Didn't want to upgrade to something a bit better and end up going even better in the near future thus wasting the first upgrade - as knowing me it won't take long to upgrade :)

    they're a damned good "all round riding" wheel as I've said - freehub sounds a bit like an angry wasp compared to shimano stuff - half way between a hope and a chris king - but they're pretty much bombproof, and frankly the Ultegra's I upgraded to (well - frankly, the sidewalls of the rims had hit the wear markers so I pretty much HAD to swap) weren't a massive upgrade, despite being twice the list price - should have gone for the dura-ace rs80-c50's really, but I was still a bit fat for carbon wheels :laugh:

    Yes EMX-3 with Campag 11 speed

    I will admit I went out on it for the first time today, bloody hard work - first time on a Road bike with drop bars - getting confused with where the brakes are - odd panic moment. Overall was quicker over compared similar distances by about 1mph which isn't bad at all especially considering it was the first time out on the bike in 2 weeks and I've been suffering with hayfever all day so feel quite run-down.

    Off to have some adjustments done on a Retul system tomorrow to get my body trained to be in the most efficient and comfortable position.
