Hello everyone
been reading the forum for a few days now, must say an excellent place to likeminded persons.
i have been riding an old heavy mtb for a while now, mostly weekend jaunts,
found out about the cycle to work scheme and decided to buy a much lighter bike.
i opted for a specialized sirrus as i like the stright bar position.
i have never had a bike with such slim and slick tyres before.
i have done 2 commutes to work now, 11 miles each way. i was expecting to have to slowly work up to the full distance.
i am a bit worried about the tyres performing in wet / very wet etc conditions and when autumn / winter finally arrives,
i noticed a lot of members have eg. a winter type bike, how do the slick tyres perform in less than good road conditions, or should i opt for a semi type slick tyre when getting close to autumn etc.
i am a born again biker so very much a newbie
