Special note to Pcad .... Those 38's will ruin the look of your new 2x4 that you claim is coming. On the brighter side that new guitar is a beauty. May I suggest you give it to someone who can play it?

What's wrong with Williams 38's??

They are my May-September wheel set. Coming back in a month.

They are fine wheels as function is concerned. Looks wise they resemble hula-hoops...supposedly great for climbing and being that I will go 50 miles out of my way to avoid the slightest incline, they're not for me!

I have to say I love my Mavic Cosmic Carbone slr Wheels 2010. They cost about a $1,000 and are bullet proof.

Yes the Zipps 404 look a little better and weigh a little less but the metal brake surface and the durability and reduce cost make me happy.

It's sunny and above freezing.

Time to ride.

I am going with the fast group today. I am prepared to suffer and ultimately get dropped. Will come back for HTFU points later.

I'm looking for more of a May/December thing.

Yes, you never wear them after Labor Day.

I could bash the Williams 38's, truth is I am just too fat to ride them. :o

Out of curiosity though, how is braking in wet weather?

RT 03-30-13 06:47 AM

Left both pair of leg warmers at work. How did this happen? Now I have no base layer for 'neath the tights. The ride will happen anyway, just need to find that bottle of HTFU I left somewhere...

Sun is shinning in Southern Ontario.....glorious morning

WhyFi 03-30-13 07:43 AM

Bought new cleats. Decided that I didn't want to put the new cleats on the old shoes so I bought new shoes. I think that I may be done with my Spring stock-up.





...but I should probably replace my cabling... Gah.

That's how it goes here. Winter drags on and after the first sign of above freezing temperatures and sun, it rains for a few weeks.

I once had this ornery cat (I know, redundant) ... you could pet her head once, twice, but like clockwork, on the third one you were going to get sliced. Then you get into that foolish game you can't win - trying to be quicker than a cat.

Good times.

Leg warmers and tights. How cold is it?

RUOkie 03-30-13 09:52 AM

I was bored waiting for my parents so I ventured into trollheim for the first time in years.

Dumb.

I misread this thread title as abduction. Who can argue with that?

But much better since the roadie invasion, right?

In the interest of fostering good international relations amongst cyclists, we should all learn to use each others' vernaculars. What do y'all think?
