Yes, not the lightest build (a fair bit heavier than what they replaced) but really do roll very nicely indeed. Width seems to work very well with 25c tyres too. Also Shimano cup and cone hubs, beautifully smooth, well worth any perceived extra maintenance hassle!
Look good too...

The postman did bring me the hubs fairly recently so not entirely OT 🙂
Knuckleball Chewy Carbon bars today to pimp my Fatty.
A new battery and rear light from Smudge.

Reindeer fur cat wand replacement toy, which is useless as it sheds fur all over the place and the cat has already ripped the front loop from it :

loddrik - you sure? not even with the threaded tubey thing and different bearings?
Nope. Apparently the 20mm hub cannot be converted. Only 15mm to QR and vice versa.
Back can be but front cant. We have both 20mm and 15mm hubbed wheels in the garage, depending on which bike/forks are used but will be moving the 20mm Lyriks on now my new ones have arrived. Great wheels and hubs though.
A really nice chainring from Velosolo and stainless bolts has turned up today. Fitted and happy with it.
Postie brought me rather a lot of these...

New wheelset to finish the build! WTB I35's on ProIIs. They've been signed for by the next door neighbors. This evenings task is setting them up tubeless and then onto the gears and brakes.

Today - 4 cheap shit tyres from blackcircles, mine are all shot on my focus, and hope to get rid asap.

Two £35 kindles for the kids for Xmas, a new Pebble time for me for my birthday, and a schwalbe Durano plus for the commuter. I had to go and pick up my repaired wheel myself. Deuter backpack came yesterday.
Got a gilet and some wheels still in transit.
I'm loving commuting by bike again, I feel like the bit in fight club where he walks out of the office with his computer in a trolley. The wife is letting me buy all kinds of stuff.
A dozen bottles of SA wine for Christmas sloshing from Wines of Interest in that Ipswich.
Yesterday a Fox tshirt and some XT 8000 brakes

Went a bit mad in the weekend sales. Postie brought me a set of Zipp 404 wheels today to add to the power meter that came yesterday 😳
A pair of XT brakes and TWENTY spare olives, I ordered 2, CRC sent me 2 bags of 10.
