Picked up my first road bike today - Cube Attain Pro Disk and took it for a 10 mile spin over lunch ![thumbup](/inc/images/thumbup.gif)

I had given some thought to the deal Wiggle are currently doing on the carbon version however wanted to buy locally.
Will be interesting to see how I get on with it. I've only had Hardtail MTB's previously and it's also a first with clipless cycle shoes!

Umm... Don't see any roads in this pic!Seriously, good luck with the pedals. I'd love to say I hope you don't go down, but I think every body does once or twice. You have my sympathies for your impending injuries. Stick with it though, they are worth it.

The shoes are interesting and it's simply practice I'm sure - I have been warned by the shop and a number of peddling mates I will take a tumble but try NOT to do it at the traffic lights!

Bring the bike indoors, lean against the worktop and learn to do it BEFORE you ride ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)

I wasn't really sure about 50mm carbon wheels but these were on offer at Wiggle/Chain Reaction and now they're on... ![cloud9](/inc/images/cloud9.gif)

That looks good! I hope you enjoy those wheels. I've got no hope of getting onto 50mm carbon rims anytime soon.![cloud9](/inc/images/cloud9.gif)

Lols, cheers - I can now confirm that the wheels are awesome! Dead blingey and obviously worth a handful of watts even for a modest motor like myself! (But the bike still looks better in RED!!!)
