friday as the sword goes on to sate its lust

I'd normally blame Wiggle, but in this case it's HR to blame for giving everyone the same number of days off. We can take what is effectively unpaid leave but it costs me way more than the minions. How unfair is that?sungod wrote:scenic misty start, overall a hot 100k, felt like riding into a fan heater most of the way back, definitely scorchio, excellent puff pastry chocolately cake along the way

New wheels. I reckon Mrs H2(3) will smell a rat, even with her limited fcuk giving about bikes.
I'm just going to say they were a clearance bargain, will make me go faster (I know they won't, but in my head they will), will make me go whoosh as I ride along, and will make me 17% more attractive to lady roadies. I am assuming she never Googles carbon wheelsets. That would be a potential problem.
She won't notice a fig unless you tell her. They look lush.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

tend to go a bit easier on the flat bits out, push it on the climbs, then just hammer everything back, had 1km ascent in there today, take it easy tomorrow then probably a long and very climby one on sunday
the basking definitely evens things out

Heh, you ordered the same wheels as me on the same day. Great taste.
Mine arrived at 12:13 so I popped home at lunch to un-box them (and to intercept the GF getting home before me). Very circular, happy so far. Currently back in the office playing with my new Garmin related watch gadget thing...0 -

Stevo, wtf? Back in work on a friday! You wear glasses, if I remember correctly.
I also worked out how much it cost me to buy extra holiday. No thanks...

As an aside, I have just been out for a lovely ride, have bought as an experiment, some salami piccante that was in the short date (down from £6.95 to £1.56) and it's lush, so sitting In the sun eating that before a steak and rocket salad lunch with a glass of vino rosso. Tidy mint.
Currently listening to Balinese trance music so it's a bit jungly weird here at Casa MF.
Then I think I will contact someone to see if they want to buy my cx bike so I can buy a Bianchi Aria and make the Cervelo the winter trainer.
Oxo - errrr - what? What do you do? Why did you nearly contract dead disease? I no understand.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

She took delivery of them, what with her wfh and all. Hence the need to say they're plastic and cheap. She can't fail to remember the large wheel shaped box with Wiggle written on the outside. Even she knows what Wiggle is. Hmmm, I suppose I could slip her a Mickey Finn when I get home, so she forgets all about it.
I'll see if I can clean the bike up a bit at the weekend and take a picture with new wheels in situ.0 -

Excellent taste yourself. I was recommended them by another forumite over on communting.0 -

Just say that they are the wedding rings. You heard big and bling was all the rage.
Cool - look forward to seeing them on The Steed
They do look double cool.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

It's that uncomfortable feeling when your blood alcohol level dips below a couple of stiff brandies. Soon remedied by a couple of stiff brandies. Or if you're feeling healthy, ridden out with the aid of benzodiazepines.0 -

that's what it's made from in the first place, you could end up creating the regenerating salami cycle - though it'll be a smaller dog/salami each time unless you input extra dog to keep it topped upmy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -

Fucken hubs are centrelock, despite blurb and pics on wiggle site saying 6 bolt, and therefore me only having 6 bolt rotors. Bastards. Still, i can get some of those fancy shimano finned rotors now. They're centrelock only. Pain in the arse though, I was all excited, though I spose I could go and find some rotors at Evans tomorrow.
Nice round smooth wheels though, and Mrs H3(2) literally gave not a fcuk. Though I don't think her brain could compute that wheels could cost more than her bike.0 -

Happy dog. Ha ha.
It was an option - even by my standards it was getting a tad weird around here.
Fukkkkkking death row dog. Lucky for him Edwyn had a load more, bad thing for me is that I think I've spent about £30 on salamis - they did have truffle and wild boar as well, so more for my tummy.
I will be a salami eating hero.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Pop them on the bike anyhow and let us see them. I'm not sure whar all this centre lock stuff means but it all sounds horribly complicated.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
