Re:My new wheelset!
I'm a bit dissapointed with the quick releases tho. They weigh a ton each! I've ditched them and retained my original levers, which weigh much less. Apart from that, I'm a happy camper. ;D

Re:My new wheelset!
V02 = happy camper = happy campag? :P<br /><br />I guess in your case they should be pretty much interchangeable....<br /><br />Hmm, we called our Pickfords Double century team &quot;a few spokes short&quot;, if we were outfitted like you though, we could simply call ourselves &quot;a few spokes&quot;<br /><br />Ok, no more sad sad puns

Re:My new wheelset!
I'll put them together tonite, take them for a spin and give you guys the verdict tomorrow.<br />It's weird (and wonderful) how a two pieces of aluminium can make my body release so much endorphins that I'm close to tripping. ;D

Re:My new wheelset!
Do i dare even ask how much they cost?<br /><br />i'm sure if i bought a set of wheels like that the pleasure would be short lived compared to the lingering illness of paying them off!!!

Re:My new wheelset!
R4,000?<br /><br />Did your purchase involve a ski mask and a fire arm? Or is that the going price - seems aweful cheap for that quality wheelset.

Re:My new wheelset!
Hmm, are we allowed to smite you for showing off V02?
