That will do a lot for Cyclist/Motorist relationships won't it.

Rookie mistake, proper school boy error, hang your head in shame, young man.

Yep but to be fair, now I've looked at the wheel a bit more, a squashed egg is more circular. Also a pissed Scotsman walking home is straighter. There's even bends in the rim. Guess I'll be buying some new rims and building my own wheels then (that's the excuse going to SWMB) - she who must be obeyed).

Damn, missed the O (SWMBO)
It's probably too round for you anyway. Try 0 instead.

An 8 is probably nearer for the state of this rim.
Anyway, I'm now in the market for some good commute rims (and new tyre(s)). Anyone got any recommendations on cheap decent rims, and tyres with good puncture resistance?

Anyone gone tubeless with their commute/winter hack? Should I be tempted by this or walk away and go for boring regular clincher + tube?

I'm beginning to dread the prospect of this programme, but prior to that there's slightly more realistic cycling with the Revolution Series on ITV4 between 8 & 9.

Schwalbe tyres are the worst to get on in my experience, proper thumb breakers.

Hutchinsons are a killer too. Michelin seemed fairly easy.
I am thinking about creating a website "bicycle101" or something similar

Good call. Never tried Hutchinsons, Michelin pro race are a dream to put on. I had a set of Vittoria's once that were worryingly loose, they would not stay on the rims unless you inflated an inner tube inside. Never trusted them as a brand since.
My LBS swore big style when putting some new PR3's on my bike (surprise b/day present).
I punctured very very soon after popped them off and on again simples.
I've never had a problem with the x amount of pairs I've had over the years, all very odd.
Right then, here we go gents!

I've never noticed the difference between different wheels, albeit I don't usually spend anymore than £100.

I think the last part of your post tells you why!

I'm not gonna watch it, or get involved in the pointless debate, all that needs to be said has been said so many times. Also I cannot be bothered to write another reply about 'road tax' to some dullard.
