My new bike :)

[craven2354]

Picked her up yesterday won't be able to ride her until January. Just need some new accessories and pedals for it and we'll be ready to go


I will be putting shwalbe Luganos with the red stripes on do you think it will be to much if I go for red bar tape and maybe a black seat? As I don't like white

 

[Peteaud]

Nice.

I like the Boardman range.

Black bartape and black saddle

Looks nice. Leave the red tape off though,

I've seen a lot of people recommend the charge spoon saddle is that any good for long distance?

Loads of people love them, personally I couldn't get comfortable when I had one.

But for the money it's definitely worth a punt, and if you do find yourself in the minority like me they're an easy re-sell as well.

O one more thing will 23c types fit? It says it currently has 25c on but I have a new pair of 23c Luganos already

And if so will 25c types fit 23c rims just to go on the turbo with

Never seen a red boardman before that's really nice, I'm starting to really like those Vivid colours which really pop

It's a new release for this year

 

[BrianEvesham]

Very nice, I would want black bar tape though, I am guessing the white would get grubby very quickly.

 

[potsy]

Nice.

I'd go black tape and saddle too, especially if you're going for red tyres
And yes, 23's will be just fine.

Mavic cxp rims - compatible tires 19~28 mm

Std tires 25mm or not won't last very long on a turbo, get a proper trainer tire

Nice bike Charlie

Black bar tape and saddle will go very nice

What about Red Schalwbe Ultremo ZX's

I know but money's been tight since the accident as I haven't been able to work its just temporary until I get back to work

Just make sure you set the turbo up correctly, if the tyre is too tight against the roller then it will wear quickly, but if it's set up correctly it will be fine IMO.
