Wrong wrong wrong.... (ON topic)
Well, there were a lotta things said by various 'authoritative'
individuals about my new carbon wheels. Firstly, and most importantly: braking is as good as with any of my alloy rims! Did a coupla panic stops, and some more gradual braking during bombing a hill, with an anticipated turn at the bottom type braking. Yes, the brakes did require a bit more modulation but certainly I was able to stop and control braking as well as ever. Yes, the pads are more spendy (unless purchased in bulkish quantities on ebay - which I did) but they do work quite well. Secondly: no, I did NOT have to correct the spoke line. Anyhoo, the wheels climb like a monkey, spin up nice and are only mildly affected by crosswinds (30mm section). Went for a ride yesterday in 15 - 20 mph winds and had a great time. 18 degrees ambient. God it was great to get out on the bike again! Sorry (oh, wait, not sorry at all), but you 'nattering nabobs of negativism' were totally wrong. D'ohBoy |
