The wheel will most likely be around for a while, but I'm trying to have a good clear out to only keep the bits I need.
I'd like to get this done before the TDF starts, but possibly won't

Surely they are all "essential"
I do have the old r 501s and a set of RS 11`s , the latter being back up wheels for the carbon .

FWIW some years ago I had a similar off on a MTB some years ago.

I was freewheeling down a gravel track when it was suddenly as if someone had stuck a large stick through my front wheel and I went over the bars. To this day I have no idea what happened. No damage to the bike, I revisited the site and found nothing untoward. A couple of broken fingers for me and a cracked helmet.

On a ride I was leading once, a guy was summarily ejected over his handle bars - he had not fully tightened his front wheel quick release, hit a speed bump, wheel shifted and locked, bike stopped instantly and he flew.

@cyberknight I have been saying that everything is essential and then ran our of money and space lol.
Once I've cleared the bikes that I don't really need I'll then start on what I can move on.
And I wear that gilet most days that I commute!!

Hope you're feeling better and back on the bike soon.

I had the Team Carbon (before it was nicked) and I thought the CXP22s were pretty bombproof...which is no help to you at all, I realise
