Ooh 'ansome! What is it with wheels? I almost get a 'woody' just looking at a nice pair.

Well i never knew you could get travel sickness on a bike
Would a open face helmet help?

Somehow i don't think that would work

When out on fishing boats i always take ginger root caplets two of the one a day ones in the morning before leaving home

If the anti static strip works no need to try anything else

I like just looking at them like that! Don't really want to cover them up with brake discs given how they look!

Perhaps that explains why one year when at the NEC bike show I left my daughter in charge of the camera (not so much a perv if you get your 12 year old to take the pics of the Bennetts babes or the Carole Nash girls

) ... and she filled the memory card with 200 plus pics of wheels, no bikes just wheels, when questioned why she just said "I like wheels"

They look fantastic. Im toying with the idea of getting mine done in a dark colour over winter when I pull mine off the road for a freshen up. (clutch and a bit of paint) It will have over 110,000 km up by then. What color is that?

That is metallic black believe it or not! Had them done by triple S in bingley. Not cheap at £180 bu they did a brilliant job and made sure no threads or mating surfaces were coated so it was just a case of putting the new bearings in and brake discs on.

Don't seem to have a better picture on the bike but here they are;

Braded brake lines are for show, on the road............

Unless someone can convince me that they perform as pressure-multipliers.

Most people change them cos it's something that they can afford or justify on cost - while kidding on that they somehow transform the bike.

I have virtually no play in my levers, can stand the bike on its nose with two fingers.............

Now - Rim Tape............ that stuff is good for at least 5mph more, and an extra 10 torques in the midrange

They look a nice job who did them? I am wanting some car wheels done this winter. Good excuse for a day out in the fantastic city of Leeds.
