    Stock Mavic rim wheels with tyres & tubes:

    R 1597

    Saved 595g or just over a pound of rolling inertia and increased stiffness. Bike feels more lively to direction changes, climbs a tad better & rolls noticeably better. Also much quieter, absolutely silent when pedalling, sounds rather ‘campag’ when freewheeling 🙂

    Cycling Weekly comments:

    Getting a decent set of wheels for under £400 is a tall order – inevitably bringing the ‘strong, light and cheap’ equation to the fore.

  • 3 Peaks – more details on tap…

    Posted on June 19, 2011 9:04 am by dubster

    Got more of an idea about next weekend’s adventure, thought I’d share it…

    Myself and ‘Ray’ will do all the driving, covering about 1500 miles in the mini bus, with a team of 6 guys doing all the walking/climbing.

    We leave Rochester early on Friday morning, heading for a YHA near the Nevis range, hope to go for a big Pasta fuel up before bed 🙂

    We’ll get up at dawn’s crack Saturday for the guys to climb Ben Nevis at 6am, once they’re off I’ll head out on the bike to do Fort William’s XC loops for a few hours, which should be great. I’ve never ridden in Scotland, so that’s a tick in the box.

    They should return about 11am when we’ll drive to Cumbria as fast as the minibus let’s us, with luck they’ll start Scafell Pike about 3-4pm. If I’m up to it, I’ll go for another ride, as it’ll be 4-5 hours before they’re back again.

    Hopefull they’ll have no issues & we should leave for Snowdonia about 8-9pm Saturday, so they’ll start up Snowdon around 2am for another 4-5 hour slog finishing about 6am the following day. We’ll try n sleep while they climb Snowdon, as it’ll be a quick blast home as soon as they get back.

    Might book the Monday off actually 🙂

  • 3 Peaks Challenge, from a different angle…

    BAE Systems 3 Peaks Challenge

    I’ve been roped into driving a team to Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon next weekend,
    for their “3 peaks in 24 hours” challenge 🙂

    I’m considering taking the bike, as I’ll have about 5 hours to kill at each venue. However I will need to sleep while they’re clambering about, and I can’t risk damaging myself as I gotta drive them around & home.

    The team will walk about 25 miles in 24 hours, but there’s a 10,000 vertical feet to climb & descend. This ain’t no walk in the park son!
