Nah I've already ruled them out Marco!

They'll be no bling carbon wheels for me for the forseesable future. Perhaps a new bike though, a fancy lightweight carbon one to make even Pauls Felt look... old :wink:

Remember, those prices are in US dollars. So, accounting for the current exchange rate, they are about 67p a pair.

Yes to straighten a disc wheel, you stick it on your record player and everytime it skips a beat you hit the other side of the wheel with a hammer. It is always best to play the A and the B side just to check that you have got all the dents out. Once you get a straight wheel you can listen to it for ages, then you know that you have sorted out the problem.

Cheers
