Thank you to Mrs MM for an early 40th birthday present. 😀

New Kysrium SL’s shod with Michelin Pro Race 3’s. Haven’t been for a ride yet but they’re very light. Replaced Kysrium Equipes.

I have wanted a pair of these for a very long time and I think they suit the bike very well.

Nice… Pimpin’ 8) looks a bit like Abu Ghraib though.

Needs a Dura Ace chainset methinks now to finish things off nicely.

Very nice, looked at these before but will probably wait until after winter to upgrade.

Hardly porn, I’m disappointed! Stock up on spare spokes. A friend now rides with 2 taped to his chainstay.

The issue with the stem isn’t so much that it’s not slammed, more that it’s got a positive rise! Get that spacer underneath and put it right way up!

Hope your never seen going slow up a climb on a bike like that…….

Oh..and you’ve forgotten to flick the tab down on the front brake.

I’ve had mine for years never broken a spoke there fantastic wheels

Stem pointing up and safety stickers still on. Get that other spacer under the stem and point it the right way! And take the yellow safety stickers off. Please.

All points taken on board and will be amended tomorrow. 🙂

Wall is a retaining wall and will be rendered soon.

‘wall to be rendered soon’ Ha Ha Ha!! Is that what you’re telling Rachel?!

Still getting the cx bike?

Wall needs to be done as we’re going to get the house ready for selling.

CX bike is being ordered on Tuesday but won’t be here until October which is annoying. It does give me more time to put the roof on the shed though.

Check these out…. 8)

True wheel porn 😉

“Wall needs to be done as we’re going to get the house ready for selling.” Moving down here? you know you want to! 🙂

Not wanting to piss on your bonfire, but I bought some Kysrium SL’s to replace some hand built Dura Ace hubs on Open Pro’s, quite frankly, the SL’s were crap in comparison. They felt dead, made cornering feel vague and all in all not that inspiring, they looked nice though. Add to the fact that when the spokes break finding replacements is a chore. Even worse was when the rims started to crack at the spoke holes (quite a common fault).
I replaced mine with some Dura Ace C24 clinchers, a much better, cheaper, lighter wheel that climbs, corners and rides way better than the mavics.

whats with all the green slime – get scrubbing dude, your letting your self down 🙄

Ohhh king r45’s.Deciding now between king,dt240,American Classic or tune to lace into my 50mm carbon tub rims 😀

I seem to remember these came in at just under 1400gms….They are in fact re-branded Campag Bora rims….

They are nice though!
