Training Tyres - some recomendations please!

get gatorskins.

That tiny piece of weight will put on less than a second off a TT....but a puncture would put minutes on.

I don't think there is a point paying much extra on weight unless you are as skinny as you can get.

Of ****ing hell.
Just get faster.
Your bike, how much time is that losing you?
Your front mech, and rear one, how much is that losing you?
Heavier chain, how much is that losing you? Get a hollow pin chain, that will save you a nano second

Rubino's are OK, hardwearing, quite fast...........But can be comical on wet fast corners. I find them quite amusing.

The weight concern is to make it harder for me not easier montage, on my TT wheels I have pro race 3's and so maximuum speed is achieved on those, these tyres are only for training

Im just going to go and thump my head against a very hard wall now.
You actually beleive that tyres are going to make it so much harder?
Wear a baggy top, that would make training harder.

Well don't get heavy tyres on purpose.

Just drag a car tyre or something .

No really...just carry something heavy in your back pocket.

And ignore Joe


(Joe leave Young Un alone....he is just asking a question)

Im being serious, wear a baggy top. That will give you more resistance. Then when you put on a tight one, you wont have that resistance. That will take off more time.

I already do that

dont worry about making things harder by wearing stuff that could bcome uncomftable, just peddle that bit harder, it will have the same effect, if not better...
