On my winter bike I have Mavic MA2 rims
on Tiagra hubs , no spoke breakages and
no real problems but I am noticing
that the braking surface of the rim seems almost concave with wear.In the wet the brakes really seem to grind into the rims leaving a 'nice' black alloy and brake rubber paste over the wheels / forks and everyting .Is there any way of gauging how much 'wear' is left in the rim?? or do I just wait for it to wear right through with possibly
disastrous consequences.
Also am thinking of 'up-grading' Ultegra
hubs with open-pro rims to Mavic ksyrium
Equipe wheels , is this worth while? The
Ultegra/open-pro combination has been most impressive but guess don't look so neat.

Having read all yours about 'pooling' , is
there a benefit (after proper warm-down)
in sitting with legs horizontal?? |

My regular commuting route has long sections of cycle lane(green section of
tarmac on the left and side of carriageway)
and bus lane .I guess that I have right of way to overtake on the inside ;junction or
no junction when in these lanes??
I assume that drivers are obliged to stop and check before crossing these lanes??

I have Carnac Passy shoes and they are
certainly the most comfortable I've got
they also have taken a lot of road abuse from salt/sand/rain etc., and still are in
very good condition. You do need to be very careful when tightening the 'inserts' onto
the shoe .To me it seems as though the metal
is too soft and the thread could easily be over tightened and stripped. Use Threadlock
or similar .
