Was a really nice week so far. Was low 50's F to 60F or so later in the afternoon. I pulled a spoke through the rim on my rear wheel. It was a struggle to keep the wheel in true although better than the last one. So am on the lookout for another set. I might be back ordering from velomine.com since its tough to beat their $180 wheelset with Origin8/Formula hubs and Velocity A23 rims. For now, I'm back on the Orbea. I had to replace the axle for the rear wheel for it. The threads on the end were stripped (I think the one end worked itself loose somehow). Those Shimano Ultrgra hubs do roll really well. I can see why they still use ball bearings. Ah, repairs, repairs...
