Yesterday I picked up my new set of wheels. I wanted the wheels to be completely black(meaning black rims, black spokes and black hubs) because I think the black goes well with the yellow frame. It did not turn out that way, since the Shimano 105 hubs are no longer available in black. Rims are PRO R50 Classics and the hubs are Shimano 105. But the wheels do look nice, 36 spokes both in front and back and I'm pretty sure that they'll be much stronger than those crappy Shimano's WH-R500 and WH-R535 wheels I had before.
On my last few rides, I swapped the short stem riser for the medium riser. I wanted to see how much it influences the speed, since your upper body should be more erect with the medium riser. So far, it does not make much of a difference, I can ride the same speeds without putting in more effort. I'm gonna leave the medium riser for a while to see how things will work out ....
I'm still looking for a small (and good looking, if possible) handle bar bag. So far, all my rides have been without taking any tire levers, pump or spare inner tubes with me. I've probably been lucky so far that I never had any problems so far, but just in case, I want to have something to put it in. Just haven't found one that I like so far .....
Ready again to put in some miles !
