Clickety Clack.
Rotor crankset.
Bromance.
Welp, had to happen at some point, but I scored a flat tyre today whilst doing laps around Centennial Park. I scored the flat a couple of laps in and half a lap away from my car, and what’s worse is I was just trying out my new Specialized S-Works Torch road shoes (what’s next? Lycra?!) and as expected, there’s just no way you can walk in these fucking things! I ended up taking them off and walked around the park bare foot, and you know what? It was nice (I feel grounded lol!).
I’m trying here, to be less stubborn and at least give new technologies a go, but nah fuck that. Tubes are going back in ASAP.
PS: These shoes are awesome. I’ve got wide feet and these shoes come in a wide version and the fit bang on. They’re a lot stiffer soled than the Adidas Velosamba’s and clicking into and out of them is way harder than MTB SPD’s but I like this. The new carbon deep wheels are awesome too. Crosswinds weren’t an issue, love the hollow sound they make. The freehub isn’t anywhere near as loud as I thought they would be, but that’s probably a good thing!
PPS: Also got some more fixie parts in. A Rotor crankset + Brotures pedals and straps from Japan. Just waiting on wheels for the fixie now so I can start the build!
