Fantastic looking machine. Love the wheels. I second the white tape idea though.
I'd also be interested to know how much you paid for them?
It's my long-term plan to invest in a set of red Zeros for my red Izoard. Can only afford (well... credit card :oops:) to buy it with Fulcrum 3's at present.
Dombo6 - yes, I am fairly afraid too. I bought the DVD of the route to see what we are letting ourselves in for. It annoys me when I hear "it's an easy Etape this year"
Looks plenty hard enough for me!
As I live in Oxon, it's hard to get proper climbing experience. My Sunday ride is now up to about 110k without a rest stop, but it's those mountains that scare me! And they don't start until you've already ridden 100k!
makes me wonder if I should have looked at those for my roubaix - went for the campag eurus as they were on a good price in ribble - but wow - those look good!
hey MegaCycle,
love your new wheels! your whole bike looks pretty impressive - definitely an etape victory for you on that lovely machine
I'm going to upgrade mine - perhaps to fulcrum 3 or ksyrium (sp?) elite. Sound like I know what I'm on about there don't I? I'm just repeating what the man in the shop said today
They were about £400 so my spa day saving tin is going to get raided!
Well, labels is one of those little things isn't it. Just makes it smart and its no extra effort. On the other hand, I wouldn't be that arsd if I saw someone elses bikes with labels not lined up!
Its amazing the things people notice when a pic of a bike goes up "oooh, I can't see any grease in the heads of your chainset bolts, they'll be prone to rust".
haha...here's one I've just spotted! Your front QR is on the right. Convention states that both should be on the left. I'm not joking either...that is actually one of those things people look for.

It's my s**tty camera!
How much did you pay for zeroes? I have fulcrum 7 on my bike and am looking to upgrade.
They look superb on your bike. Fulcrums are great wheels.

2008 Wilier Izoard
How's the training going? I just realised its only 3 months to go. Am afraid. Very afraid.

pliptrot - I got them with SRAM hubs and they fit the Ultegra compact cassette just fine.

How was the Cheshire cat thingy?
20 posts in and no-one has given you a row for not lining up the valves and tyre labels...
Where's the moderator on this forum!

People actually do that?! Jeez, and I thought I was censored !
yes it is. Umm...it's attached in the usual way. Why do you ask?
Yup.
It looks right, and helps you find the source of a puncture after you've taken the tyre off.
When you look at someone's bike and they've got the labels lined up, you can be fairly sure they've got everything else done right too...
