I am sure most of you have been but I would let you know. CRC have another sale on with some massive discounts on wheels sets. Some up to 50% off, Zipp firecrests without about 30%.

I told my colleague and he is encouraging me to buy some new wheels saying I can the delivered to work and sneak them home, Once on the bike the wife wont know the difference as they all have bike blindness. Think he could be right.

He bought a new bike, left the old one at work and took the new one home. Wife hasn't noticed.

Mrs Pablo is very aware of new things in the garage, my advice is to take up new disciplines that best justifies the new bike requirement, track, cx, downhill, xc, road, tt....

I built a whole bike on my desk at work, it started with some handlebars, then a stem and grew out until I had to get a workstand delivered here to set it all up which went in front of my bookshelf until the wheels arrived and I rode it home.

'Oh that old thing, I've had it for months'

Now I don't have a big office or anything, it is literally just a desk and my work is nothing to do with bikes.

I get all my stuff delivered to work, (bike, car, home etc)

Got into a few interesting conversations with other cycling people about the wheels I had delivered once.

Tempted by the reynolds assault wheels they have on there but I would want to have them rebuilt with my G3 hub and it looks like they have different spoke count.

These look quite nice, not cheap though!

I had my carbon MTB wheels delivered to work yesterday - now safely tucked up in the garage for next time I dissappear off to fettle the bike.
