Wheels have arrived! It would take me so long to decide on the right rims and hubs that I have jumped straight in and bought a wheelset already made up. They are Remerx Taurus deep-V 36 hole rims, with SJS aluminium double fixed track hubs, and an anonymous 18t cog and lock ring. At worst they are a decent stopgap, and best they will be perfectly good wheels. They are certainly very light, true and round, and look well-made. If the hubs turn out to be crap I can always have them rebuilt with Campagnolo ones. Size is 622×14.
Here they are.

In other news I went with Mrs HQF to watch the Brick Lane bike polo. Bloody hell those guys have the skills. I expected a lot more crashing and falling off. It was awesome and I really wouldn’t mind a go myself. I suspect, however that I would be really crap.
