Ok folks, just a bit of general advice if you'd be so kind...
I'm shortly about to join the ranks of road bike cyclists. I ride a hybrid at present, which I will continue to do.
Now, much as I'm looking forward to getting out and about on my new road bike (haven't got it yet, its on order), the one thing that I think may be tricky to get used to is the tyres.
How much of a difference can I expect to find between the "slicks" and the treaded tyres (700cc) on my hybrid? Clearly there is going to be some difference, and I understand that the slicks should be pretty grippy in the dry.
But in the wet, how will they behave, how big is the difference?
Thanks all...
