Happy to take everyone's 25mm tyres

I’m pretty happy on 28 to be honest. I think there would be more comfort to be had from tubeless or a different frame?

You must have an antique bike with rubber brakes

Being a, erm, bigger rider, I naturally favour larger tyres just for suspension comfort benefits.

I transitioned to tubeless setups quite a few years ago on all my bikes

However I never felt larger tyres up to 40mm really became a drag(pun) on speed

Is that because you have never really got up some speed?

I certainly like my tubeless 28s on road bike at 60-65 psi.

They do say, you've got to enter and finish to be counted

A few years back you had a really fast ride without changing your 40s on your tripster. I remember at the time thinking it was a fluke.

So he got it then?

Yep, a lap and a bit further .

You really couldn't make it up with lack of technical coverage.. watching a virtually empty velodrome and rider looping isn't that screen worthy without numbers

My girlfriend says the same to me ...

Well that is my right hip replaced. Felt like death yesterday but pretty chipper now. 6 weeks of operation recovery then hopefully back to fitness rebuild. The Consultant said my hip had been pretty messed up and it was definitely the right decision to replace it.

Forgot to ask him if the replacement hip is heavier or lighter than the original. Should have ordered a carbon fibre one 😃
