FINALLY!

The winter is finally gone, and summer is here to stay, at least for a while. What's better than to start of a new season with a pair of brand new 60mm deep carbon wheels? As always we've had a really long and cold winter here in Norway and I have spent several hours on the trainer, waiting to get out and feel the wind in my hair again. Knowing that I had a pair of Flash-Point 60s ready to go made it at least a little bit easier. I had my last exam at the university for this semester today and I'm now looking forward to over two months only riding my bike.

My first impression was how good my bike looked with the high-profile carbon wheels on, almost like a real pro bike! And second, the sound! A sweet rattling sound while freewheelin' and "schwosssh" when pedaling, I can never sneak up on anyone now.

I rode the wheels for the first time with my local cycling club last week, and I got a lot of questions and the guys just stared at the rims, "is it all carbon fiber?", "how did you get those?" and so on. Some of them were so excited that I had to give them a test ride each.

I have now done five rides with the FP 60s, all under windy weather conditions. I thought that with so deep rims that it could be some steering troubles, but that turned out not to be a problem. I will get back with reports on stiffness, acceleration, climbing and so on when I get to ride them more.
