'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Planet X Superlight Pro Carbon

At last, I managed to take my Planet X out for my first ride on it today. Only a quick blast covering 22.5km in 40 minutes but it was enough for me to find out that it is a very smooth ride, despite only wearing bottom of the range Shimano R500 wheels. It will be much more responsive and quicker when the Ksyriums go on. It's not massively stiff which means it is more suited to sportive type events which is exactly the type of riding I'm planning to do on it. It was a real bargain so I'm very happy.
