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

LOL

fill 'em with Gatorade (or other preferred sports drink)

Thanks fellas. Are they expensive though?

[edit] Seems from looking at the Phantom Cycles site they aren't. So the plain DT Champion spokes are good enough, or he really should spring for the almost 3 times more expensive DT Competition ones?

Should be less than $1 per spoke plus wheel building costs.

You'll end up with bullet proof wheels that'll last ages. I've ridden over a 50x50 (2 x 2 in the old measurements) post lying across the road in the dark going about 25kmh on my training wheelset (DT & Mavic CXP22 rims) and not busted or bent anything - I just got a hell of a surprise at going airborne suddenly.

The difference between the DT Competition and Champion will be weight with the Competition being butted. Any DT spoke should do the job.

And no, I didnt know that it was the 'womens' team when I bought them.

Only because I told you.

By the way, that chamois lotion from Italy that I ordered - awesome! If any of you have a serious rash/sore problem, you'll have to get some. Seriously.

I cant believe the Aussie thread has come to my knob stretches lycra more than your knob.

G'day guys, so this is where the Aussies hang out.

Just a question about your remedy HDTVKSS, how exactly did you rinse your sinuses?? I went down with the flu last week courtesy of having kids at kindy so it's waaay too late for me, but maybe next time....

I'll send you guys that stuff at cost. I've given up on sales some time ago.

Here's a big knob pic though:

Geez Expat, I feel so sorry for you. Your knob only goes up to 8! I'm hoping you'll still be able to lead a normal life tho.
