Wheels Of Mass Destruction - Cycling Wheelsets

-


Having returned to Canada after a working term in Australia my sister and brother-in-law have now made Montreal home. While living in Melburne Steve decided to begin building wheelsets on the side - revisiting his days as a bike mechanic and wheel builder with Cyclesmith.



Needless to say his hobby has expanded into a small home based business which also made the trans-oceanic journey back to Canada. The website is up and running and looks real nice so I invite you all to check it out.

Excellent looking product line, free shipping in Canada with taxes built into the price. Warranty and crash replacement policy included.Sweet looking wheels with minamalist decals for that simple but stealthy look.




I`m still in insurance limbo after my October crash but will need to pick up another set of road wheels before the start of the 2012 season whether a settlement is concluded or not. Not quite sure what I will opt for at this point(alloy versus carbon fiber) but I`m giving WMD the nod. Steve was adamant that he would like me to "give em a go" and give him feedback on the wheels so stay tuned for my review and testings.


Good looking stuff. Is there anything nicer than hand built wheels? If you are in the market for new wheels for triathlons, road cycling or MTBing drop Steve an email for a quote or customization.

"I firmly believe a well built wheel set doesn't need to cost more then some people's cars. I'll work with you to match a set of wheels specifically to you, your bike and the way you ride ...."

I just got a check for $500.

Sometimes people don't believe me when I tell them about how much you can earn by taking paid surveys online...

So I show them a video of myself getting paid over $500 for filling paid surveys.

2009 Halifax Criterium - Race Update

-
Image
Awake at 4:30AM I was at the venue real early so it gave me the chance to check out the course. The city had patched and paved the rough sections so it was in excellent shape. The weather had finally cooperated with a warm sunny day as well. It was shaping up to be a great racing day! I was adamant I would not volunteer this year but focus solely on the race. At the last hour,heeding the call,I said I would help sweep the course prior to the first race at 9AM. Somehow I ended up doing the whole loop myself and, thankfully, it was relatively debris free for the most part. I got back to registration around 9AM and placed my race numbers on my jersey. On the way to put the race number on my bike DM,in full racing kit, asked why I was not ready. Seems the Master B/C race started at 9:30AM.I was under the assumption it began at 10AM. Holy Hanna! KT got my bike number on the top tube while I geared up at a record pace. Not the way to prepare for a 40 minute plus two lap criteriu

Celesta - The Archer's Helmet

-
Image
Finally got around to purchasing an archer specific helmet to add to my medieval kit. I prefer the bascinet which better fits the historical time frame of my gear but opted to purchase the celesta simply due to availability and price. Known as the archer's helmet it was a simpler variant of the sallet that was preva!ent in the15th century and used through out Europe. Archer's were typically the poor cousins of the medieval battlefield in terms of pay and armor but their lot had improved by the 1400's. By the 15th century veteran archers and crossbowmen often had basic armor usually a mix of gambesons, mailes, coats of plate, jacks, brigadines, helmets and some plate. It could be a mixed bag of protection either inherited, scrounged from the battlefield, purchased or granted by the Lord's armouries. It was always a matter of balance between protection and mobility. Archers and crossbowmen were expected to join in melees during a battle but also needed to be

Scythian Bow - Flagella Dei

-
Image
After several years of interest I finally decided to purchase a Scythian style of horse bow from Flagella Dei Archery based in Hungary.    Opted for a yew laminated bow #42@28 so it was a custom build but worth the wait. Feather light and simply beautiful. Build quality is great and pictures just do not give justice to the eye candy quality of the lamination, tip reinforcements and quality leather handle wrap. Shipping was fast from Europe and bow was professionally boxed with bubble wrap and a nice bow sack. Included was a certificate of authentication complete with the bowyer's signature and warranty information. Needless to say I was anxious to get it outside and loose some arrows. The rain held off on Saturday so it was a perfect opportunity to get out under the green. I just love this bow. Not only is it lightweight with precious little hand shock but is amazingly silent as well. I was using bamboo and wooden arrows but the bamboo arrows definitely suited the bow better over t
