I suffered a slow puncture on the way home last night, stopped every 2 or so miles to pump it up, had no motivation to fix it last night so on the hybrid today.
Tempted to just bite the bullet and order new wheels, but what ones? lol

For the Triban, no point buying fast wheels, buy sturdy ones. It's a workhorse not a racehorse
Me, I'm looking at expensive ones for the Focus but I'm fooling myself if I think they'll make a damn bit of difference on the Bealach
You could always repair the puncture - a much cheaper option ...

I agree
Even new wheels will require the tyre to be changed, dam

Haven't we already had this conversation???
Doesn't look like there is much to choose between them, either would be a good choice so I'd say you budget determines which pair you go for - there will be opinions galore about the positives and negatives of each.
So, in essence, I guess what I'm saying is... Just buy a F****in' pair! Oh and get some new tyres too ya lazy git.

I don't need new tyres though
My GP4000's have only done about 2,200 miles
Slow puncture - you'll need to investigate the source, may not just be the inner.
The weather turned nice the very day after I handed it into the shop.Just in time for the rain ...... and the cold .... not forgetting the wind! I thought it was ME who was jinxed; but the past week has been fabulous. How long have you been sans bike?

Better just be the tube, no spending £50 on more tyres
The weather turned nice the very day after I handed it into the shop.
Same happened here yesterday, no wind the entire day, as soon as 5:30 hit the wind started

In that case, I think the rest of CC Ecosse need to find out where you keep your bike so that we can "arrange" for it to have more visits to the bike shopThe weather turned nice the very day after I handed it into the shop.

Rule 9 applies. Anyone can ride in glorious sunshine (and they frequently do, according to my strava feed). I shall be out regardless of weather!Sure i seen snow on weather forecast for Saturday...
