I'm sure this has been posted before but thought I'd right a little review of my new wheels and tyres. First up the wheels which many of you have the v sprint custom track wheels wow was so used to riding on my old shitty wheels that came with the bike put on the new ones is like riding a different bike stiff responsive and tackle pot holes no problem . My the point of view of a very heavy person who pretty much abused all of his bikes these are bomb proof Can't recommend them highly enough. Next the tyre which are Web freedom thick slicks which supposedly have twice the thickness of rubber on the tread so far after 25 miles across London no nice rips or holes have appeared they roll really well I'm and seem to be up to my daily commute like I'm said I'm sure all this had been said before but if your a big heavy bugger like me you can't go wrong with this combo thanks

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
