Wind on the side of those wheels wont half make him wobble Unless
they're track only....

Afirm, better the disc on the rear than the front then I guess :-)

I thought they had the mark of the beast upon them, then I realised
the label was upside down.

Took a pic of my project in the kitchen last night too

Finally got all the bits together, let the fettling commence...

Guinness Marmite!?


I wouldn't mind trying Guiness Marmite..
It's a shame that you can't see the label very well. Perhaps you could
repost.

Tell you what's rubbish though, is that Marmite squeezy stuff.

Is it me or has the jar Marmite got thinner?

Nope. It's still as fat as the jar....

Whilst looking very designer and "cool", why cover/fill the wheel area?
it'll cost you in a side wind.

They're time trial wheels, and wind loading is the reason the front isn't a
solid disk. They're not track wheels - the back has a freehub body for
fitting a cassette.

He probably won't use these wheels on windy days anyway (although
interestingly the theoretical benefit of disk wheels goes up on Windy
says). Certainly a deep section wheel can take control of the steering in
side-winds, and as time trial bikes are often a bit sketchy anyway in the
steering department this isn't altogether a good thing...

I'm mildly jealous. If they had Mavic or Campag logos on I'd be much more
jealous...

It's more than designer and "cool", it's more aerodynamic. In the absence of
a sidewind, it's faster.

This missus knows how much they are as this missus had her husband cough up
the toonas for a pair of Zipp 404s and a Zipp disc for the offspring's time
trial bike some time ago..

Marmite on toast makes a good cheap meal.
