Look 595 after winter makeover...ready to go!

[aicabsolut]

that is sick!

btw, I'm picking up some Mon Chasseral wheels from the shop today to go with my white Tarmac

I don't like getting blown around on the Carbones for my "whatever rides."
I also like those tubes, but I only use them on the Carbones (need 80mm valve). For some reason, my BF and I aren't having the best luck with this 60mm tube on our other wheels. Seemed to have a slow leak, but then we inflated the tube off of the bike, and it seems to be doing fine. ...? I think I'm sticking with Bontrager for short valves, because they have served me pretty well so far. I also don't like how the V's aren't threaded. They rattle around a lot, particularly in the carbon fairing on the Carbones.


I have to ask... why not go all the way with white Hudz?

I actually like the little bits of black and red here and there to break up the white. The Mon Chasserals actually have red nipples, which looke really nice in person with the other small bits of red on the bike!

I got the wheels home. Wow, the decals are obnoxious! hahaha I may have to remove some. I was going to build some up from scratch (basically same wheels, but possibly different hubs), but I wound up getting a deal on pre-built that was comparable in price to custom.

I've got a few red accents on my Tarmac, and while I hate red on bikes, the wheels go with it pretty well. I think they'll look nice on my blue and white Roubaix, too. A friend of mine had a blue and white BH, and those wheels looked great.

I think the 1850s are slightly better looking (1.2 rims), but, obviously, they are a ton heavier.

As for new wheels, unless you go with tubulars, you probably aren't going to find much that's lighter and better but not deep. Maybe the Reynolds MV32C? Or Williams 38 (heavier).

I really did NOT like the Mon Chasseral decals...thus, I removed them. They were a pain in the butt to remove! They really have them on there good!
