The original plan was a set of the 1500g SLX24 Rovals but then these poped up in a local marketplace, they're 17XXg so definitely not WW but for $450Aud with a pair of ice tech rotors and new 25/27mm Challenge Roubaix tyres... Was disappointed that the Ice tech and centernline rotors had different offsets (checked a few) so I'll sell my remaining shimano rotors and stock up on SRAM ones because I'm too lazy to shim/adjust everthing to mix and match.

18mm internal with Bladed DT spokes and bomb proof hubs (pawl not star driver) they are perfect for life under a full size human haha.

70km Yesterday on some pretty crap roads at 80/80psi and 88kg they more or less disappeared from my thoughts which is exactly what I want from training gear. They don't seem to flex even with some low cadence big gear efforts and they took some of the edge off that the 64s with 26mm tyers seem to have on the more chopped up tar. I'll drop the psi a little more today and see how they go.

Had a bit of spare cash, so decided to buy a decent watch that I can use for long Audax rides. Ended up getting a Seiko Prospex SRP777J1 dive watch.

Waterproof, glows in the dark, automatic movement, and it has a rotating bezel.

Ooh, I can play this game too. I just got this Tissot PRC 200. It has a tachymeter so I can calculate speed or distance if my Garmin breaks down. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Dad: Yeah... well... now his body’s fine, but his mind is gone.

Ax stem for the English. Gotta trim the steerer yet. Was more of a asthetic uprade from the MCFK. Just as stiff as the MCFK. The Ax has less stack and overall better match asthetically to the tube sizes used on the bike. Excelled fit and finish. Quality piece.
