Advantages: fast, light, high spec for cheap price Disadvantages: None
stone (unfortunately I'm a bit more of a porker than this!) the wheels tend to flex quite a bit if you put a bit of extra weight on them. I find this a problem when hill climbing - although living in Norfolk there aren't that many about which is a good thing!
I have also had the wheels flex when going over pot holes. I know that you should always avoid these on a racer and 9 times out of 10 I do, but there are the odd occasions when they are unavoidable.
Changing the wheels is not a difficult task and it is usually one of the first upgrades most cyclists make to their bike. I'm hoping that good old Santa will bring me some nice new wheels for Christmas.

Advantages: Swift plot development; suitable for nearly all ages. Disadvantages: Terrible plot; unconvincing characters; indifferent acting.
Among the first of this year?s summer blockbusters has been J J Abram?s new Star Trek movie, which has been widely regarded as having successfully brought this iconic franchise into a new century and to a new generation.
The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive ? Ann Hornaday in the Washington Post wrote a prayer of thanks to the ?Lord of Star Trek? for a movie that ?has miraculously resurrected a wheezing but beloved and still relevant franchise?; the Daily Mail salutes ?the most outstanding prequel of all time?; and the Times celebrates ?a dazzling and beautiful rebirth? of Star Trek. The reviewers on Ciao so far give the film a full 5 stars, and the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) gives it 8.4/10 from over 75,000 ratings.
Against this tidal wave of enthusiasm stands me. I don?t even have a sidekick to help me. I must alone ...

Advantages: All the original cast return. Disadvantages: Can be slow in parts.
After the surprise cancellation of Star Trek in 1969 whilst it was in it's third season, the opportunity to resurrect Star Trek, following the more recent success of a certain science fiction film called Star Wars, was hard to resist. Paramount had a dilemma, how could they bring back the series in such a way that the audiences would take to this. The answer was simple, a follow on series called Star Trek: Phase II. Production designs were drawn up, scripts written, new sets were built and the original cast were reunited, well nearly all of them as Leonard Nimoy had originally refused to appear as Spock. At the eleventh hour, Paramount decided that the focus should not be a TV series but a big budget film that could rival Star Wars. This allowed all the cast including Nimoy as Spock to once again take their places on board the newly ...
