Day 7...We Got Some Snow

Yep.  It started about an hour before the shop closed, which is 4pm, and got heavier as the drive home got underway.  It was pretty intense at times...down right sketchy.

As for the #NYRevolutions go, Monday will start some physical workouts on a daily basis.  I'm not thrilled about it at all, cuz its gonna hurt...REAL bad.  Ill really feel just how much Ive been slackin when I start to use this mass of flesh Ive become.  Oh well, dems da breaks!

Tomorrow are the Womens', and Mens', Pro races at US Cyclocross Nationals.  The guys over at Frites En Mayo Club have managed to convince some "powers that be" at The Wynkoop Brewery to stream the races live in a private room!  I thought I had to work, but I was mistaken, so i gots the permissions from my wife to go down there for a bit.  It'll be cool to see just how many people turn up, seeing as how Colorado has had some awesome results so far at Nationals.

On the plus side, a buddy of mine brought parts in to the shop for some sweet wheels to build.  Alchemy Hubs(if you don't know them, you're missin out BIG TIME!!!), Sapim spokes and HED Belgium hoops.  Don't worry Ill take some pics.

Well, pregnant wife passed out and is in bed, so now I'm gonna get some "quality" TV time in for myself.  Boots out...

Here They Are...

In a previous post, via Posterous, a set of wheels was mentioned. Here are the complete finished products mounted with the FMB Competition CX tires. We were all pretty impressed with the total weight of the wheels with the tires mounted. A respectable 1770gr!





These tires, especially the ones mounted with silk base tape, pull on so nicely after being stretched for at least 48hrs. For those who might even be remotely interested, with carbon rims I do a 3 coat/3 day glue job. With carbon I've found that the first layer is essentially sucked up by the carbon due to it more porous nature as opposed to it's aluminum counterpart.


The Alchemy hubs we used(and we'll use on all of our demos at the shop), are all made just up the road in Broomfield and are amazing. Inside the rear hub youll find 5 bearings dedicated to making your wheel experience as best as it can be!


The machining is top notch. Every part of the hub has been thought out from top to bottom.


Heres the set ready to go at University Hills Crit tomorrow. For those wondering about flat protection, we throw in about 30cc of Caffetlatex sealant. I don't like to use Stans due to trace amounts of ammonia which will degradate(sp) the latex tube over time.
