How are your 'new' wheels holding up to be punishment you're dishing out to them?

On a 'cheap' bike hunt with Jnr.
(he's settled on the Spech hardtail we saw at 9am, that's almost antique but seems bombproof)
Anyhoo the search took us to Cranks, god I've never felt so at home!!!.
I could have spent all day there, just rummaging around, talking bikes, and doing the odd fettle.
I realized it was time to go when I found Stat Club Jnrs sat on the wall across the road.

Well I was in Cycles UK this morning and commented on the massive imbalance seeing comparatively naff all road bikes on the floor. The explanation being they are not buying much in whilst they wait for the industry to decide whether it is going to go disc brake or not.
That's horseploppies, they just don't want to get stiffed with 'old' stock in 3 months time.

They've had very little punishment to be honest. Very soon after buildi g up the Planet X bike, I bought a cheap set of Fulcrum wheels for the Winter. Only just swapped back over to the Hunts, but unless it's raining, then all rides at the mo are on the Summer best bike with the Zondas on.
All the Hunts see at the mo is the daily short commute. Still loving them though and they will get some long ride wet weather action soon I hope.
UCI finally approves disc brakes for road racing

Still doesn’t make it right.
The UCI has got to do something about when they can be used as the braking is different and running them alongside traditional brakes is just asking for trouble, again.

I bet you’ve got a big shiny pair and a pointy helmet haven’t you.
No. I've got a pointy pair and a shiny helmet as it goes.
Not wildlife, today, and not for the first time, I was buzzed by a Spitfire.
Quite splendid.

Sorry. I assumed it was news as it has just appeared on my timeline in the last hour from sky news. However after having a closer look I have noticed that the tweet is sponsored by Uber.
Perhaps this is a new tactic with advertising? More likely to share a news story than an advert. So inadvertently you end up sharing the ad.

As I often repeat ad infinitum wankers also ride bikes as well as other things. This is astonishing, and those responsible should and can be done by law.
I have never seen this kind of behaviour EVER when out on rides in Sussex. All our club rides we signal horse ahead, slow to a crawl and ensure no gear changing etc. and we gently chat or say hello so the horse can hear we're coming without getting spooked even going passed slow (which can happen if you bike is silent).
I bet each of those cyclists also drive a car like an utter prat as well. Hope they get named and shamed, and if they were competing in anyway, have their race licenses revoked.
