Few changes to my Raleigh Arena Lately. New Nitto Riser bars and Technomic Stem. New Front wheel- Black Velocity B43 Rim Radially laced to Blue Soma Track Hub. Held together by black custom length wheelsmith spokes and blue nipples. Rolling on a Maxxis Detonator front, Rubino rear.
Trick Track is a helpful forum for tips on learning tricks and skills. Plenty of reading to be done there.
We rode in central Wellington tonight. It’s awesome when you have the streets almost to yourself.
Custom Star are Japan based.
Some awesome looking bikes – Check out the Gallery
We went riding today.
Wellington Train Station -> Lambton Quay -> Courtenay Place -> Oriental Bay -> Kilbernie -> KFC -> Velodrome
Mt. Victoria -> Mc Donalds for Frozen Coke -> Wellington Waterfront -> Kaffe Eis -> Parliament -> Train Station -> Home.
Tired.
Update 03/06/09: The rim came in yesterday and I started building it up today. The B43 is nice. The guys at Bicycle will be truing it and installing it onto the Arena. I bent my front forks the other day so they will also need repaired.
New front 700c wheel to be built shortly using one of the new Velocity B43 rims in Black. Ordered today. Bigger wall height than the Dodici Aero I was looking at. 2-4 week wait on it.
More pics to come.
I ride my Arena mostly at night, so I decided to make it easier for traffic to see me and my black bike.
