We took a detour on our Sunday morning group ride today and ended up riding quite a bit further than planned, never mind got to see the temples in Ayutthaya because of it.

Wow, must have been a bang. Hope you didn't fall. How do you like the wheels?

@Tomstr yeah loud!

I was lucky, just rolled onto a dryish patch when it burst so didn't go down :o

Those Cosine 30mms are surprisingly nice for the money. Just got them for appearance (for the missus, but I was on them today), but after a ride last week I felt my bike was more fun on them and splashed out on a set of 45mm's, which aren't as much fun if I'm being honest. Heavier so that's probably all it is. Will spend more time on the 45s next week and get a better feel for them.

The 30's I'd recommend to anyone though, really would challenge someone to come up with a more fun wheel for the money, with one caveat - there may be an issue with the rim eating the tube/tyre, which may have caused this burst today. Still working it out..

You lucky basterds. Still -4C here, and another 3 cm of snow last to keep the roads nice and icy. We try to get by with studded tyres and the local indoor athletics track.
