Road Wheels & Road Wheel Recommendations?

Bored now.

I've ordered some new unobtanium coated Drafter Aero Section rims, laced with the sinews taken from Oliver Reed's pint holding hand, and 26.3mm tyres specially ordered from Durex to make sure they remain unimpregnated by any road debris.

As long as you're definitely using 36 sinews, that sounds fine.

Bored now.

This.

Well that only took 2 weeks. Emailed CRC to tell them it's piss poor and I want the cost of getting them trued at a LBS refunded.
I'd still buy their wheels again, shit happens.

If you're going to send them that video, clean the bike and re-shoot it first.

Tell them you crossed the line in Siena 1st, despite their shoddy workmanship.

Why? The roads are crap, could have ridden 5 miles.
I've only had them 2 weeks, even if i spent the entire 2 weeks riding it's not acceptable for hand built wheels.

I've not even hit any big potholes on the back wheel.
Or jumped any big curbs.

skinny, not so skinny?

Thinking about building up some Chris King R45s to H+ Archetype's. Will they be an improvement on my Campag Chorus to Mavic Open Pro's?

@skinny - there must be someone close by from the forum with a spoke key who could sort that out in less than 5 minutes.

@corny - different, rather than better: more weight at the rim, but the 23mm rim subtle handling improvement on corners (and possible imperceptible aero gain); slightly less weight at the hub, but horrible freewheel noise, and proprietary servicing regime. Why not, if you fancy a change...

I've a spoke key, just scared to mess with a dished road wheel.
Don't want to make it oval.
Unless it's simples?

It's simple but I wouldn't be too happy with that on a new wheel.

Yeah, I'm not going to do it out of princibple.

And I'm only 90kg, so not fat.

You're almost as heavy as me and everyone knows I'm fat.

If Skinny is 90kg then I'm 115kg

I am tucking into a box of chocolates as I type this, and I've not ridden the bike outdoors once this week.

You don't ride bikes you take photos of them on scales before sleeping on them.

Step 1, admitting the problem. Well done.

I've just had a nice piece of stilton and am knocking back another dram. Missed a week and a bit of riding to illness.

Lost 2kg over the past 6 weeks as planned.

Fuck you, whippet.

I finished a block of chocolate tonight, as planned.

I admitted that ages ago, keep up Hippy.

I've lost my Viagra. I can't keep it up any more.

Got some new handbuilts coming too, as it goes, in time for my 40th.

My 40th bar of chocolate since Valentines.
