  I couldn't get the Strava app to work, but did find a work around:

  3. Route then appears in the Garmin connect app and can be synced to the device through bluetooth

  So Fulcrum centre lock hubs. Turns out they use a lockring which threads on to the outside of the hub, rather than the inside of the hub like a Shimano one. Some mention of it on this review of the Racing 5s

  Does anyone know where I could buy a set of these wacky lockrings as I've purchased a second hand set of wheels which has come without...

  I had lunch at Lyle's not so long ago. It was mega. They have opened a sister restaurant called Flor in Borough Market and it also looks banging:

  This is my experience with the 411 rims too. Couldn't get the back to seat until I added even more tape. After that it was fine!
