Woah, we'll have less of that kind of talk please

Don't worry... It's the weekend and mummy pig is away from the sty heading to the big smog. That means it must be beer o'clock already

You'll have to let me know if you reckon it gives you a higher power output... I'm thinking I could put one on myself if it works...

No no, nothing to see here D.Pig. Move along

I should probably stop taking photos of my bike....

That's what I have on the wheel currently in my trainer - good tyre both on the road and Bkool.

Have you gone for 23 or 25? (Mine's 25)

That's what I have on the trainer and seen big improvements in the goats league not so sure about the chain gang rides

 

[Breedon]

Ohh and it's 23mm

Out of interest what did you change from? You are pretty much flying up the goat stages!

Ummh, all this talk of tyres...I run scwalbe tubeless on my best bike so I cannot try them but may try my Giant p-slr 1 racing tyre. Can't hurt

This is my bike for the DD hopefully I'll be able to get out Sunday for a quick spin to get the saddle and post in the right position

It looks like you have fitted them in the right position already!

That looks like mine but mine is inside a frame, it's less conspicuous that way (wouldn't want to be accused of cheating).

Do you find these are better than Turbo Tyres?

Apart from the wear issue of course.

i do, when it comes to hills/inclines there is zero wheel slip no matter how much power i put down, with regards to wear there is very little some times less compared to the turbo trye

Did they slip sat down or standing. I get some slippage from mine when standing up so try not to! It means no sprint finishes though!

This is me practicing for the DD

The problem is that most rides have uphills and you absolutely kill me on these which is why I can never keep up with you in the end. I feel like a fish on the end of the string riding against you!
Personally I'm having a great time, these rides are giving me the buzz that I really needed. As you can guess I'm pretty competitive and the chaingang and handicap races are feeding my enthusiasm. I didn't even drink any alcohol this week because of them!

Isn't this classed as cheating on this forum?
