Here's the wheel of my new road bike.
If you know a lot about bikes, the tires are Forte Pro DC, 700 x 23C and the wheelset is Formula Element XSR-3, 20H and QR.
I kinda kicked my own ass today by riding both the Pleasant Hill Trail and the the northern half of the Bartram Trail in the Tuskegee National Forest. It was damn near 18 miles of singletrack. A great time except that I bent my rear rim on an uphill section where I over torqued it at an odd angle on a root.
The University of Otago (Māori: Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo) is a public collegiate university located in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. It scores highly for average research quality, and in 2006 was second only to the University of Auckland in the number of A-rated academic researchers it employs. The university ranks highly in national league table; in the past it has topped the New Zealand Performance Based Research Fund evaluation.
The university was created by a committee, including Thomas Burns,[4] and officially established by an ordinance of the Otago Provincial Council in 1869.[5] The university accepted its first students in July 1871, making it the oldest university in New Zealand and third-oldest in Oceania. Between 1874 and 1961 the University of Otago was a part of the federal University of New Zealand, and issued degrees in its name.
Otago is known for its lively student life, particularly its flatting, which is often in old houses. Otago students (Scarfies) have a long standing tradition of naming their flats.The nickname "Scarfie" comes from the habit of wearing a scarf during cold southern winters.[7] The university's graduation song, Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus ("Let us rejoice, while we are young"), acknowledges students will continue to live up to the challenge if not always in the way intended.
The architectural grandeur and accompanying gardens of Otago University led to it being ranked as one of the world's most beautiful universities by the British publications The Daily Telegraph and The Huffington Post

This element can never burn out. It's two discs of stainless steel separated by a ceramic insulator. It relies on the resistance of the water, so the water purity affects how much current it draws. It works extremely well, however the current draw can be higher than expected. If this is problematic, one option would be to run it from a Variac at reduced voltage.
