Sorry, ignorance on my part. I thought the open part of the name Open Pro meant they were all for clinchers, I have a set of 32 hole clinchers in the CD finish, they look remarkably like the old GP4 tubular rims I had on the Chesini. The ones I have are currently on disc hubs as there were no 700c disc rims at a reasonable price when I had my first set of disc wheels built. Was going to rebuild them on to some old style hubs for the Chesini when it gets repaired. Looks like the clinchers are no longer made, probably as they are out of date to many. This is what I was thinking of:pinno said:

Where do you get 'period' 32 hole rims?

I do think MA40's 'cos not sure about having tubs.
Mind you, it will probably be ridden in dry weather (once in a blue moon - 'cos it's Jockland innit).
I'd veer towards the open pro's VN mentioned if I did.

Brightened up nicely out there today. Left work earlyish and managed a sub 30min ride home for the first time since recording them...which was nice (in Patrick Nice style).0

Heh. Fcuk seeing double, I'm seeing triple. That ride to work tomorrow is going to be restorative.
Think I might give Mrs H³ a kiss and make up the sofa bed.
May jeebus bless you and keep you.
Back on the straight and narrow tomorrow.2 -

Went for a recce this morning and there were a couple of piles of horseshit on the lane leading up to the place. Banjos at the ready.pinno said:
I'll need a pub bike as well, some dark lanes with no paths to navigate between there and the village."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Horseshit all over the auction in Wimbledon Village, though less than there was after they closed Ridgeway stables. I think anyone caught with a banjo up there would be lynched as a peasant up to no good. Though they do let the morris dancers caper about and engage in mummery outside the Rose and Crown and then the Hand in Hand on Boxing Day.Stevo_666 said:

We had country horse poo not townie horse poo. Luckily the surface of the lane is good enough to get the Panzer in and out without losing the sump but might be a bit iffy on a road bike. I'll take some pics when we go for the viewing proper next week.hopkinb said:

That's the only thing wrong with where we live now, there's only 2 pubs in the whole town and one of them I regard as a restaurant rather than a pub.tlw1 said:
The other one has been refurbed recently (well pre-covid) and haven't seen what it's like since it was done. It used to be a bit shoite.0 -

Main reason we didn't buy in Muswell Hill, when we bought this place... no pubs except an O-Neill's. Unforgiveable in London.Ben

I'll use your strategy of driving to the pub, leaving the car there overnight and cycling back to recover it the next day. Maybe a van would be appropriate?tlw1 said:

Cracking bit of foresight buying that estate...although bike both ways to and from the boozer is plenty doable, as long as the Mrs doesn't want to tag alongtlw1 said:

I reckon the communter could spend its twilight years as a pub bike/ride to train station bike. "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Is staggering downhill home preferable to staggering uphill?
I found that I was waaaay more likely to get home by bike whilst drunk than by foot. Seemed intuitive.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
