More Bike Porn

During the week arrived my Xmas present to myself,  Race Wheels! While they are not Zipp or some highend name they are Planet-X, 52mm . These wheels cost around $600AUS delivered from the UK to Australia. Right in my price range and by the time you add Tubes, Tyres and Cassette let's say you get change from $900. I took them for a test ride and they felt quick but there was a strong side wind which added a lot more skill needed to control the bike. Ie. Wheels where like a big sail. The photo's below are from my road bike, but the wheels also go on the TT bike as well.

Here are some pics

Race Wheels arrived!

Next week sees the first race of the year. We are all hoping for a swim.
