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

Considering I'm trying to lose weight and your pictures don't help, I'm indifferent.

I have the SL's and I am very happy with them. They are on their second season and still haven't needed to be trued. That's saying a lot considering my size and WV roads.

For training wheels the aksiums are completely bombproof. I rode them for 3 yrs on the crap chip here when I was >200. They are still true.

The krysiriums are lighter and more aero.

I may be slow, but at least I'm not fat.

Also, office park.

If there is an Addiction TT, I am in. It would have to be a climbing one though, as I don't know a stretch of road that meets the previous dead flat criteria. Oh, and it would have to be in warmer weather.

I'm definitely a carnivore... but I don't like my meal to still look like an animal. Blech.

Just curious, has anyone here ever heard of someone sending their wheels back to the manufacturer every year to be "checked out"?
