Choosing Wheels and Tyres for Sportives

Wheels are one of the most - if not THE most - critical component on your bike. It is therefore important to think hard before purchasing a set.

Wheels are one of the most – if not THE most – critical component on your bike. It is therefore important to think hard before purchasing a set.

Wheels can now be made to optimise cycling performance in almost any discipline, from downhill mountain biking to velodrome riding. They are ultimately a balance of weight, rolling and aerodynamic resistance, strength and comfort.

Of all the components on Carbon bike www.chinabikedeal.com , this was the one I spent the most time researching.

My criteria was:

1. Weight:

I wanted a compromise between strength and weight; Rebecca is not heavy on her wheels, but I did need a pair of [url=http://www.chinabikedeal.com/26-mtb-carbon-wheels-clincher-25mm-with-novatec-hubs/1122.html]Mountain Carbon Wheels[/url] which would be robust enough to ride on roads which aren’t the smoothest. Going too light on a pair of wheel can result in rim damage if you hit a big pothole – though wheel technology is improving reliability of light wheels year on year.

2. Strength:

Sportive wheels need to withstand the rigours of prolonged riding, over hills and poor road surfaces; there is no recovery van or spare wheels like there is in proper racing, so the wheels you start with are the ones you need to finish with.

3. Efficiency:

A good set of bearings and an aerodynamic profile reduce the amount of rolling and aerodynamic resistance; the effects of which build up over time, and since sportives are long events, this is important.

4. Compatibility:

Not one many people think of, but its important all the same – will these [url=http://www.chinabikedeal.com/special-super-light-carbon-wheels-clincher-20mm/1060.html]Carbon Clincher Wheels[/url] work alongside existing wheels? i.e. can I swap from training wheels to these wheels and back again, easily? I don’t want to ride on these wheels all the time. Can I continue to use the same brake shoes (Carbon rimmed wheels need special compound brake blocks)? Can I use my existing gears without adjustment? Will these wheels fit in my frame?

5. Cost:

Obviously, it’s a recession, and I’m not a millionaire – I need 38mm 700c wheels http://www.chinabikedeal.com/700c-carbon-wheels-clincher-38mm-white-hubs-black-spokes-3k-glossy/1115.html which are good value for money.

6. Looks:

And as I’ve mentioned before…good looking equipment is always faster!

Macbook Air Case

I recently bought a new laptop, a MacBook Air. I love it! All I needed to really enjoy it was a laptop case.

I recently bought a new laptop, a MacBook Air. I love it! All I needed to really enjoy it was a laptop case. I wanted something unique, different, homemade & not too expensive. I looked on [url=http://www.shoponlinelive.com/iphone-44s-cases-c-460.html]apple iphone case[/url]but couldn't find one that I really liked, especially as my Air is the 11" one and there weren't many for this size. What I wanted was one made with vintage green fabric - guess what, I had some! So I decided to have a go and make my own, especially as I've been reacquainted with my sewing machine recently.

The first thing I did was to sketch out the steps that I needed to follow. Then I measured my fabric and quilting batting [url=http://www.shoponlinelive.com/pro-15-inch-glossy-see-through-cover-for-macbook-p-6920.html]macbook air case[/url] . I hemmed the top of the fabric to make the edge nice, sewed on one my handmade labels and added the pink ric rac on the top. I bought the fabric a few weeks ago & it was tied up with the pink ric rac so I knew that it matched.

I then stitched the sides together before making the button flap, which included making a button hole - something I've never done before but was much easier than I thought macbook air case http://www.shoponlinelive.com/matte-case-for-macbook-pro-anti-glare-cover-for-mac-book-notebook-p-6932.html would be. I was really surprised! I stitched it on to the main body & added one of my vintage buttons.

I'm so pleased with it & so glad that I gave it ago. I can't wait to take it out & about!
