Ride Entry – 23rd September 2009
Bike:Vela
Distance: 40 miles
I’m guessing about 40 miles for this one, to Dave’s house and back. Broke a spoke on the way back, WTF! And of course, allmodern road wheels have odd spokes nowadays which cost £3 each!!! Yeah, right. These spokes are now approximately £2.75p more than the normal spokes. Lying, cheating rip off merchants. (Manufacturers that is). These spokes do not cost that much more to make but it’s a marketing exercise, they cost 1200% more so they *must* be 1200% better. Which clearly they’re not because I snapped one just riding along a road, but what you gonna do?
So I’ve ordered 4 spokes for more money than I would get a box of normal spokes for.
