    I've had an SLR1 wheel on order from Winstanleys since March!

    Been stuck on my alu winter wheels all summer...

    Which have been absolutely fine, so I'm now wondering why I need Carbon summer wheels at all !

    Funny how we can all do without and still have fun on the bike.

    fine is not great.

    Margot at the chip shop us fine. She has all her own teeth and you'll get free chips.

    TDNFNATN is great.

    that's the difference.

    Leave Margot out of this. She’s had a bad time of it lately, what with Dean leaving her and the kids for Becky, again. She doesn’t need to be dragged into this sh1tshow.

    Oh, wheels for a penny-farthing. You'll be waiting a while for those.

    Lovin' this thread with all the whoosh moments! 🤣
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I think you need to speak to the divine Miss Worsley for wheel advice.



    Let me know once you have spoken to her.

    Probably all due to the LW.

    I'm waiting for Syncros to bring out a road version of these wheels - if they do, I'll likely plump for them instead of the Winspace ones, on a future years c2w allowance.

    Highlighted the ‘s’ in bold as well for added ambiguity. Sneaky.

    Miss Worsleys, John's missing wheels, or the Syncros ones I posted above?

    Yeah, but we all know what Becky is like. Dean will be out on his ear again within the next week and she'll be moving onto the next fly by night gigolo with his own hair and a small business.

    Dean will be back begging for Margot and like the sweet apple she is she'll take him back.

    Its the same old/same old each time.

    She needs to just dump him. He’s no good for her and I know he’s the father of her middle 4 kids but he never does anything with them. But you’re right, she’ll just keep on taking him back. Breaks your heart innit.

    You need to get on to them. Mine were delivered before they said they were dispatched.
    However I’m only using the rear one at the moment. You are welcome to nip up to East Yorkshire to borrow the front one if yours don’t arrive.

    That’s excellent. I’ll be there in 5 minutes. Nice one.

    That explains it completely. Really bad planning there, Shirl. Getting banned just as I need wheels delivered is poor.

    Is it tomorrow yet? What are they doing - riding them up instead of sending a box? "Your delivery driver is currently on the E13/2 after the turn. He will call you once his Bolt gets a Bluetooth connection."

    Must be. Seriously unimpressed by that.

    On the other hand, my abject failure to do 5 minutes MAP on the sufferfest 4dp thing could point to me being better off just giving up on cycling altogether. Not even as if I was going mad, only did a couple of minutes at 260W. Heart rate went silly. I’d smashed my 5 second result before that, mind.

    Must be tired or something

    Have you been round. If so I’m sorry I missed you I took the grandson swimming and then to the garden centre for lunch. There’s a big map of the coast to coast cycle route on the wall. I think there was a picture of someone riding 60mm primes on it, they wouldn’t be your wheels by any chance.

    No they’re not mine. I saw the map though, had a rifle through the house, nicked your silverware. Hope you don’t mind..
