karma Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 How do you tell your wife you "need" a new wheelset that is worth R15k ? If you buy it with your own money I don't see why you need to explain it. Be a man.
wanderwoman Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I told my wife its my early B day prezzy and gabang she bought them for me !!he heyou are good!....and your wife is wonderful.
Andrew_ew Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Its the 50% rule. When your missus buys a new pair of shoes, the price she tells you is actually 50% of what the real price was. You return the favour.
Toxic Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 It's probably going to be around R20k with rotors and cassette valves etc. I like this 50% rule! that is a good one! If I spend 20k on wheels there is actually not much left to buy the wife a prezzie But yeah, I have to make a plan in that regards as well. Her bday is in 2 weeks, so I buy her a prezzie as well as something small for me .
Speeltyd Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 My greatest fear when I die, is that my wife will sell my bicycles for what I told her it's worth!

Grebel Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission......
paarlmtb Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Buy the wheels for her - then use them on her behalf, just like all the other DIY stuff she owns!
VicanZA Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 R the bills paid?if yes you have lived up to ur responsibility. just man up and do it, she will respect u more.
