Is £800 cheap for wheels these days?

Compared to Enve, Zipp, Bontranger, expect to pay £2500-3500 for a set.

For carbon deep aero with quality hubs and spokes, £800 is fair.

You can buy as cheap as £250 for 60mm aero wheels and in all honesty are not bad at all. just less bling and weigh a little more.

Weightweenies, wouldn't be seen dead using cheap heavy wheels. 250-400g difference is crucial

I like the look of that. I’d really prefer I time based set up than the points one. But I think I’ll enter for sure.

Yeah I like the GC time over a series. Even if I can't score big points in a time based race at least you can domestique

Is anyone else up for the 4:30 race today?

No chance. Once will be more than enough!

I’ve just seen The Daily Mail is now 80p. In terms of value all things are relative.

It’d be really cool if they ran a GC and points competition separately but in tandem. Maybe with less intimidates too. I dare say it’s a lot of work though.

That’s cheap by the standards of conventional toilet paper!

Yep. And conventional toilet paper doesn’t already come dripping in shite!

300 watts for an hour 20. Impressive.

5th for you according to Zwiftpower Tommy . Great ride today mate- if you can just do a proper effort on Tuesday now that you've had a steady recon ride, that would be great

@<Tommy> - if @bridgy finishes lower in the field on Tuesday than he did today, would it be a valid excuse for him to claim that it is to be expected considering that today was an open field B event and Tuesday is a ranked league event with the second highest tier of B riders?

If he can't claim that then I look forward to the points haul from your top five finish on Tuesday

Well I came 9th today but 24th on Thursday so anything could happen
