Built to last...

Known as 'the wrecker' at my local bike shop the time has finally come to invest in a pair of wheels that will withstand my abuse and my plans to ride the Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) next year.

165 miles, 17 hills and miles on the Pave will put any bike and rider to the test.

The wheels are: Royce Titanium hubs, Ambrosio Excellence rims laced up with 32 spokes front and rear. Shod with Schwalbe 25c Durano Plus Tyres.

Local Bike Shop said "These wheels are guaranteed for life. If you buckle them or break a spoke on them I will fix them for free." Can't say fairer than that!
