I weigh 103 kg am not fat and had a set of Equinox carbons. Very nice. Rolled smoothly etc. but I just wonder if all the hype about carbon wheels is really justified. I think a lot of it is fashion but what is wrong with a good set of ally wheels? We never got the multitude of broken rims being offered for sale needing repair, on ally wheels. If you fancy you are A budding Chris Froome looking for a few seconds in a 40 km. ride and can afford the top aero carbons then spend your money otherwise it is just not worth it. Just my opinion. Many will object. Leuscher Technik cuts open bike frames longitudinally and we find that the brands asking for the price of a second mortgage on the house are mostly just brand bragging. They usually don't stand up to close examination and the established brands like Trek, Specialized, Giant and several others are often better made. We are often just being bu....sh...d.

They don't climb off the rim is glued properly.

There comes a time you just have to lay down the law. Tell her you are going to ride and, if she doesn't like it, too bad.

We all have trouble with motorists with the attitude that cyclists have no right to be on the road. Remember, our bikes are legal forms of transport and have the same rights on the road as a car. I just wish that, although bikes do no damage the roads such as cars, trucks and buses, the authorities would charge a nominal licensing fee to get over this nonsensical accusation that we don't pay licensing fees. We all have cars so we do anyway.

I suppose the TCR frame and fork that were victim of the blind driver are long gone. If not I would like them and the seat post.

I ride a pair of Equinox tubbies. I weigh 100 kg. Absolutely no complaints. They ride like silk.

Not a comment about bikes in particular but we have not begun to see what the chinese are capable of yet. Many expensive, branded frames are made in china. You are paying three times the price for the name only.
