Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Changing down from mavic ES to Equipes

I usually ride on Es rims, just cause they look sweet and ride like a dream, but have now had an issue with the rear and it has to be sent away, gone back to my old training wheels, Equipes..dam its like chalk and cheese these things are a brick and roll like crap compared to my ES'. Apparently using these wheels now will make me stronger....good to keep my race rims for racing aswell..

thats all
