[Louch]

I have no half marathon training, no other half, no delays in getting in from work and out on bike now the nights get lighter and lighter.......should be you who is afraid mr Ed.

That's my big reason for little bike time, wanted to go out on Monday night for a bit but the garden was sadly more important

Can anybody recommend me a decent set of road wheels that won't cost the earth?

I don't get these days why a woman can tell a man he's not allowed to do something, but imagine you told her not to do something back......I'm happy single if that's how relationships work these days lol

Nah - you want one like Mrs Scoosh ... always encouraging me to go for a ride, "yes, why not - buy that bike", get that accessory, do the CC Ecosse Tour ... etc

I'm almost convinced there is no ulterior motive ...

I was wondering the same.

I was wondering the same.

I also need to know. My stock wheels on my Forme have done nearly 11,000 miles without being touched but are nearly done now. Think the RS10 or R501 would be adequate to be honest.

It's on my ride from Sunday

I was going to recommend the Shimano R501's - think they are around £80 (shop around though) and are a good upgrade from stock wheels.

£64.99 at Merlin at the moment. Maybe manage that when I get my wee pension on the 15th.

I think two winters have killed my wheels, won't be using the road bike in the winter again

That seems decent for the wheels, they are selling mine for £130
