Thought this was going to be about the theft of the Team Wiggins bikes & bits from Cardiff last night.

Cardiff appears to be the bike-theft champion at the moment, with over 2,000 (IIRC) bikes nicked last year.
My friends had two stolen off the back of their motorhome a couple of years ago and while the police made polite investigations the problem never gets solved.

Good article. :D

I take a slight issue though that 36/36h wheels are "traditional".
36/36 is a modern invention.

40/30 is traditional.

Sorry for being pedantic. :oops:

Shouldn't that be 40/32?

Yes, you're right.
40/32
Must be divisible by four.

Slip of the brain. :oops:
