Great. I just recieved my Renn Disc and HED H3 front. One wheel is also a birthday gift.

Looking forward to race on them for the first time on Sunday.

Happy birthday

Congratultations, I don't have a wife or a race wheelset.

I don't work here, I just live here

Are you guys adopting?



Congrats.

Happy birthday, dude.

As a wannabe on the podium, I just invested a great deal of money in a new bike and some hot wheels, including an Accell II disc. I now have no excuse for not winning... [gulp]. Same goes for you.

But just remember these words of wisdom from John Cobb: "If you push really hard on the pedals, it should go fast."

My only problem with the new bike is that I have to use the same crappy engine...

customerjon @gmail.com is where information happens.

my wife thinks my bikes are neat and that sort of thing, however, one day I was looking through the excel catalog and showed here a set of the 404's. Of course, you always notice the price first and she about lost it. I guess she really didn't know how much some things cost. At any rate, my bike purchases soon began to be analyzed under a different level of scrutiny. She basically asks that I rationalize to her in a coherent manner why I need X or Y. However, this process has a learning curve I've learned or the years. In the past I messed around with street rods and would tell her I really "needed" this set of $2,000.00 heads and could rationalize it to her in a manner they satisfied her (i.e. I deceived her due to her lack of mechanical knowledge). Unfortunatley, she caught on to this strategy and I suspect the same is coming about for the bike.

In short, if your wife is allowing you to purchase the wheels with full disclosure, good for you. If not, get what you can before she catches on ;)

PS, this is more of an attempt at humor rather than being cynical toward spouses . . . . happy birthday and enjoy your new wheels (tubular or clincher ???)

I wonder how long it'll take for my husband to catch on?? Hmm, better shop faster . . .
