New wheel joy

[BentMikey]

I've finally gotten around to sorting out a new rear wheel to replace the original from the 'bent.

Mavic CXP33 rim in 620C
Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Challenge lightweight hub

Chuffed! It's a lovely wheel. I put on an ultegra 12-25 cassette and a conti triathlon clincher.

What about the disc ?

Still got it, this is effectively a spare wheel with a lighter weight and lower ratios. This way if I have an *unmentionable* before leaving for work I can just swap wheels, or it's a bunch lighter if I'm going on a hilly ride.
