seriously. it's awesome!
especially when i didn't plan on it!
well, ok. i knew i'd have to eventually, just wasn't ready to quite yet.
lemme explain;
2 years ago at the bike swap, i bought some formerly fancy wheels from the bearded maniac, (aka ezra). they were funcutional, but were also well used. i planned to use them for the season and then get some new wheels.
with that in mind i raced all summer, and then decided to retire them to cx wheels.
makes sense right? "i'm gonna get new road wheels for the road season".
no problem.
well, after cx season ended i took some time off and then started winter training/riding... on the same wheels.
"no biggie. i'm getting new ones this spring".
after a rough winter and also of slop and grim, plus the rear wheels second broken spoke (never a good sign), racing season was suddenly upon us!
so, i raced the wheels.
then i raced cx on them again...
then winter...
oops! then it was racing season again!
so, i raced the wheels.
and have continued to.
...until today.
yesterday i broke yet another spoke on the rear, and that was it.
i'm over it.
no more dicking around with this wheel.
so i bought some sweet ass fulcrum r3's, and tonight for the first time in... well, ever... i am racing on new wheels.
wheels that don't need truing,
or could use new bearings,
or make a funny noise every so often,
or...
...well you get it.
it's gonna be awesome.
still, i like money in the bank too... i'll let you know if it was worth it.
