Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I just had my 2002 Klein Quantum rebuilt. Whisky carbon seatpost and Fizik Arione Classic saddle were added last year. Used Bontrager RXL wheels were added the previous year when I went tubeless.
This year, I added a new Whisky stem, Dimension flat top shallow drop bar, and 105 R7000 (2x11) component group.

I might need new wheels next year as the braking surface is nearing the end of it's life. I've been looking at Hunt and Boyd alloy wheels. The choices for lightweight alloy rim brake wheels are very limited in my experience. The Hunt Race Areo Wide Wheels are nice, but at 24mm outer width, I'm not sure if it will be a good fit between my narrow chainstays on the Klein frame. The wheels I'm using now are 23mm wide and it appears that there is room for the Hunts. The Boyd Altamont is due to be available in Spring 2023 according to their website. I emailed them for weight and width info. Their other offering is much heavier that the wheels I'm using now and are too wide.

The Boyd Altamont wheels I had were very nice and are still running strong on the bikes I sold them with.

Pirelli Cinturato Velo in 26mm tubeless for my wife's Giant. She seems to think that when on a group ride we yell out "HOLE" you should ride right into / through it. Maybe these will help with the cuts and flats.

The new Altamonts are 26mm wide. No way they'd fit between my Klein chainstays. The Fulcrum Racing Zero 2WF looks like the best fit for me at 22.5 mm wide. They are about $1k/pair as opposed to the Hunt wheelset which is under $600. The weight is nearly the same. I can't fathom why they are so much less money. They have a 3 year warranty too. My mechanic friend who did the rebuild says the Fulcrums are very well built, but he's not familiar with the Hunts. I also looked at DT Swiss and Rolf Prima. The Rolf Vigor is only a few grams heavier than the Hunts, 23mm wide at $1100/pair. I can order the Rolfs locally, but I'm leaning toward the Fulcrums.

I think my old Altamont's were like 24 external and 18 internal if I recall. Have you measured the spacing between the stays at the BB or your existing wheelset to compare? My Emonda is rim brake from 2016, came with 23's on the basic Bontrager level rims, but now I am running 28's on a carbon wheel that is 27 wide ext, and 19.5 internal. I think if your spacing on the rear is 29mm or more, you should be able to run up to a 28 without issues, else a 26 if it was a little too close for your comfort. With them being 21 internal, they should not balloon the tire up on a 28. My 28's run at 28 and I could probably ride a 30 if I wanted to, but I am comfortable on the 28's.

I found a nifty little bracket on Etsy that allows for mounting a Bontrager Ion light to the bottom of a garmin mount. a bit expensive for what it is, but works great.

Nice. I bought a 3D printed mount for mine. Works great! I love the Bontrager Ion light. Perfect for daytime riding. At least for my usages.

there was some error with that whole shipping thing that I'd rather source it from a distributor on my side of the world, at a reasonable cost.

Picked up my N+1 yesterday at my local Giant store. It's the 2023 Propel Advanced Pro 0. It was a special order and the ETA was September 2023 but for some reason Giant shipped a bunch of bikes to North America in May.

First time SRAM user (I'm an Ultegra DI2 guy) and I am not sure if I will like it or not, but it's worth a try! So far, shifts on SRAM Force are significantly slower than on Ultegra DI2.

I broke a DHB Aeron shoe and used that as an excuse to go a little overboard on some replacements.





The Gaerne is a new brand for me but was too cheap to pass up on clearance through Chain Reaction after warranty credit for the DHBs. The Lakes were a NIB eBay pickup to set aside for when my current 238s die out. The Giros are a slightly used eBay pickup I do not need, but I've just always wanted to try a pair.

Lastly, a 30mm GP5000S TR for a stubborn puncture replacement.

After a grueling 7-8 months of dealing with a L hip/leg injury and having to fly back and forth from Houston to NYC almost every weekend or two, I literally had 0 ride time. Even sold my Lynskey Helix and EM Strada since I wasn’t sure when I’d be riding again, if ever.

Looking forward to being back on the grind. Jumped on another Lynskey sale and waiting for their Helix + Rival AXS 2x12 build to arrive. In the meantime, searching for a XDR compatible on-road wheelset.
