As I've rarely been using my Spinergy Rev-X wheels (mostly only the front wheel for Time Trial Championship), I had decided it was time to let them go and sold them back to the UK. I took them for the last spin on my road bike and took this photo - which must be a rare photo of Scott CR1 with these wheels on :-).
