Spinergy Wheel
I did it… i finally got my front wheel. An awesome Spinergy Rev X full carbon 700c front wheel. So stoked on this it’s not even funny. It rides so nice, the sound is insane… so much more responsive than my old Charge dish wheel. Only problem i’ve found so far is crosswinds. Rev X wheels do not like crosswinds :)
Monster Traps
Since the first time i saw these foot straps i’ve wanted some. My delivery arrived today, a pair of awesome black/grey Monster Traps.
There’s so many different types/brands of foot straps available to buy out there and picking one you like is a difficult task in itself.
New Wheel
After destroying my Charge Dish wheel in a fit of rage in a Preston Docklands carpark on a rainy, wet, cold evening due to inner-tube valve failure. I had to get a new rear wheel. It took a lot of decision because there’s so many awesome combinations and so much price fluctuation. I finally decided to settle on a Velocity B43.

So it’s been ages since i blogged about my bike. Maybe that’s because i’ve been busy riding it instead of just keeping on buying things for it :D
Reborn!
I finally got the fixed gear project ‘finished’. I use the word finished lightly because this bike will never, ever be ‘finished’. At the moment, it is exactly how i envisaged it at the start of this project. So in my opinion it is now in a state of finished! :)
