Wheels for Sale
It’s been brought to my attention that I have more wheels than I really need. Especially since I just purchased a new set of race wheels. All I really need is a good set of training wheels and my race wheels. So this means I’m letting go of the wheels I don’t really need any more.
The wheel sets I’m look to part with to enable them to find a more productive home are:
- Campagnolo EURUS Clinchers (2009). Asking price: AU$350.
- Reynolds Assault Carbon Clinchers (2010). Asking Price: AU$560.
If you are interested, then please drop me an email (shadow42

STRAVA: The Social Cycling Stats System
The wonderful thing about technology is that it’s always evolving. Things that were not possible or required massive, bulky gear a few years ago, can now be crammed into a tiny device weighing a few grams and not costing mega $$$! Most of this tech, especially in cycling, is developed for the professionals, but then trickles down to the enthusiasts like myself.
Not only are the materials (Carbon Fibre, Titanium, Composites, etc…) used to build bikes and components is evolving, but the technology used to drive and monitor the performance of rider and bike is also changing. Of these it’s the monitoring technologies that are becoming ever more affordable and sort after by the cycling geeks. GPS, heart rate monitoring, power meters; these are all within reach of your “weekend warrior”. Well OK, power meters are still quite pricey, but that may be changing soon…MetriGear?
A Broken Cog
Last night I had one of the strangest thing happen: I broke a cog on the cassette on my bike.
Now I’m sure your thinking that’s unusual, but certainly not strange as cogs do wear and often a tooth will break. But, in this instance the cog didn’t just break a tooth it literally disintegrated! Where once I had a complete 11s cassette, not I have a 10s one; the 14T cog is simply missing!
WTF?
Yep, that’s exactly what I thought. WTF? How the hell does that happen?
