They look pretty ordinary, but
the differences are in the details. For example, the hub flanges are built for
installation of straight spokes, instead of the usual "J" bend. I have been looking for a new set for quite a few
months, not really sure what to get (too much choice !!).
The trip to San Diego opened another opportunity. After a few e-mails back and forth with the local
store in Solana, I ended up getting a pair of Specialized Roval wheels for
US $650 - a pretty good deal, according to various web site reviews. Of course, by the time they added the freewheel,
tires, tubes and service, it came to just under $1000.
Jolly Roger restaurant - it is
one of those things, where something interesting is too far to walk to (even
from the nearest train station) and I can not go by bike in the evening, or
leave the bike outside.
Pedestrians only - but bike riders maybe
later this month.
This is about the busiest part of the beach in Oceanside.
Not as
exciting as you might think - they move VERY slowly against even a slight
breeze - too little power for the amount of drag. There
are also hot air balloons sometimes aloft around here. A week ago, while on a
bike ride, I was passed by a pickup truck chasing after a balloon to meet at
the landing site to pick up the equipment.
