I suppose this could depend on what width of tyre ? Also on the width of the tyre compared to the width of the rim ?

The new wheels are Vision Team 30's and the tyres are Vittoria Rubino Pro 700c x 25, they makes the bike feel nicer to ride and I seem to be carrying more speed on descents with them, but they don't feel very good on rough or broken road surfaces, but do feel nice on a smooth road. The wheels are slightly wider than the stock Eastway branded wheels the bike came with. I'm 5' 6" and eleven stone so I'm not very big or heavy.

Morning. We are due rain within the next hour or so and it's to be heavy rain and wind all day. I will head out and see if I can get a quick walk at least before it arrives.

Morning all.
Mixed weather promised here. Rain soon but not lasting long.
I am being dragged to M&S. We have a BIG one that I refuse to go to unless essential as its always heaving. There is a small food one that we are going to......mainly for the aunty. I have said before, I don't mind as she really appreciates all we do and is very generous with petrol money etc.
We also enjoy M&S canned meats ie various curries and corned beef.
If there is any wine on offer thats normally enjoyable.

I googled this to see if it's predictive text or a thing! I'm still not sure........all I got was an advert for expensive gloves and women's shoes. :laugh:


Nothing complicated, we have a very good quality leather 3 piece what I intend to do is clean it and apply a leather balm to restore the colour to some slightly faded area's, it is not a fast job and expect it to take a day or two.
