Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

I still think tubs look ugly, but that bike's weight makes me think I need to put mine on a diet

Sooo.... race report from Neil?

You make a test ride in one piece?

Yeah, we don't want to wait 4 months. How's the wheelset?

Dammits bike is stalking me.

I keep expecting to see a picture of on my Facebook, my gyms noticeboard, in my mrs's wallet......

Can you turn right?

what about left?

Just dont lean.

Don't use brakes. The heat transferred to the carbon rims will melt the glue...

Well there's the answer.

Ride down a big hill, pumping the brakes. Then when the glue melts reach forward, and align the tyre.

Otherwise known as performing a "Wests Kris".

Bathroom yesterday and today I'm afraid- zero riding.

Mid-week laps of a London park will happen, hopefully.

are you sure laps are a good idea?
we have not ascertained if they can turn left or right

You'd better get the Acetone out. There's glue everywhere...

I've got most of that off now, it was a bit glue-tastic.

Are they just off-centre or off-centre and lumped?

They are centred on the rim, but the sidewall on the right is higher than on the left, if that makes sense.

It's only very minor, I feel silly for mentioning it now.

Can you at least film it and post it up so that we can see what the issue is?

Sure, I'll PM brave and sort out a full HD steadicam rig for mid-week,

Super! I love a good tyre problem video.

Can I leave the sound track to you? I'm thinking something up-tempo, but with a quizzical slant.

Chucklevision theme tune?

Darker, but "All American"

This picture needs editing now

So, they didn't explode into tiny pieces? Could you turn in both directions?

Why are the tire logos not in line with the valves? That's a bit odd.

They are exactly opposite, as on most tubs.
