Sluggish handling in the corners?

[snailracer]

Check them the night before a ride, pump to 110 psi , only drop maybe 10 psi over the week.

Maybe your tyres are pumped too hard. Overly high tyre pressure reduces grip, which might be why you are running wide.

OOH and i thought you were going to give mercia CC a go ?....

I would like too, but...

1-its been too cold and Im too much of a wuss
2-cant bare the thought of putting cruds on the roubaix
3-not sure if Im going to be staying in the west mids (wouldnt want to "steal" a ride from them knowing I might bugger off)

LOL
on all 3 counts
1, must admit i wimped out last 2 weeks but i have had a bad cold, green goo still oozing after a week
2, need a winter hack
3, I dont think they would be that "bovvered "

May sound simple...but as you surmise, could it be the tyres. My wife has a Spesh tricross sport and the tyres that it came with made it feel very sluggish. With 30mm Schwalbe Marathon racers, it was much speedier and responsive.

Just a thought

Wow. That's the first time someone has fitted Marathons and found the bike speedier and more responsive what on earth was on there before???
