Noice! Sat was my Fri, so I tended to be dropping thru a few micro (and nano) breweries on my way home. There's plenty westwards too these days, so sadly, Goat is only an occasional visit. Boneheads and Henry St in Kensington (although not actually in Henry St) are frequent, Hop Nation and Two Bird...
another brewery, relatively new on bridge rd next to yarra boulie.... burnley brewing... and 2 more in collingwood, craft and co and the mill, i think...so many options
Went out exploring today and tried the new trail that links the Warby Trail to the metro network. That is, the Croydon to Lilydale link that has been missing for many years. It's not yet officially open, construction is not complete, there are workmen on-site (in a few places) and there are signs u...

However, that may have just been bad luck?? Oh I agree, if I run them at higher pressures (100+) they will cut up...
a surprise i got was when i managed to purchase some shimano r500 wheels for $100, they are just under 1900gms a set, so no lightweights, simmilar spoking pattern to the other shimano offerings, just a few more spokes and they use more readily available j bend spokes... after over a year of riding ...
How do you go about making the decision? Do you set a budget and stick to it - just buying the best you can get within that budget or do you find what you really like and then somehow figure out how to swallow the cost? DECISIONS, Decisions, decisions .............. :shock: To me, it was always abo...
.......... you can purchase sapim cxray spokes to suit ......... Hi Dale, thanks for your contribution. Yes, seeing as how I'm trying to avoid broken spokes I should pay attention to which spokes a wheel has. Sapim seem to have a good reputation. Are they the best? They are probably the best 'race'...
