Looking at the Mountain from my office yesterday, it appeared as though someone poured yellow all over the park.
Saturday Morning Regulars: ThatGuy, Dudley.
Yup, my rear wheel is toast.
Still feeling a few hematocrits low so I got to the Junction and bailed.
Side story - got a flat on my rear sew up on the way home from work last night. I knew the tire was getting old, no surprise and I had my spare... deal with it. I have an old orange tire that I use as the spare so I never forget that I need to put on a good one with new glue.
Nice. Don't forget a little glue on the spare for next time.
Hey wait a minute! No way?!?!?! Another pulled spoke????
This is a Mavic GL330 - bought the wheelset used off eBay about 8 years ago; they haven't made these rims in probably 20 years and they had a reputation for cracking around the eyelets just like this so this wasn't really a surprise either - just that it happened within a couple weeks of my Klein's wheel. Anyway, I put the winter bombproof wheels back on the Merckx - I'll get around to rebuilding this wheel on a new sew up rim later.

Mt. Diablo and the whole East Bay is so stunning this time of the year. I missed my Spring run out there. Maybe next week I'll get some time.
Nice Picts.
