Slow Rides For Unfit People - Rutland ROAD Ride Sun 9th Sept

sparrowlegs78

I've been out today and done some easy miles , but I've had to buy a new tyre as my rear tyre is a bit bald so it was a tad slippy, so going to bung the front Cinder thats ok on the back and bung a panaracer fire tyre on the front for griparoony , I'll then not slide the bike, just me downhills ...Bungeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oh as an aside I have done first aid training but it was for motorcyling injuries though, so wear the leather then I can fix ya lmao (joke)

I'll be using whatever tires came on the bike, think there bontrager jones acx, not really at the level where I'm wooried too much about the rubber on the rims, as long as the wheels keep turning I'll be happy

Havent even given tyres a thought !!

probably take my 1.7 geax mud tyres off my single speed if its gonna be gloppy

Still waiting for parts to finish my new build !

sparrowlegs78

I wouldn't have thought about tyres if I didn't know my rear one was balding and been sliding about today, I am a bit thick though :oops:

Approaching 37 here.

Been for a splash around the woods for a couple of hours today and the bike is now in bits in the garage while I give it a damn good clean and lube ready for the weekend. Wore the new pads just to get used to them and I can happily report that even if I never need them for the job they were intended, they are a very comfortable and very effective pair of leg warmers

Thursday will be a run out on the Scott to get some road miles in (I won't be wearing shin pads for that ride, in case you were wondering.....)
