thought they would, last bike i had, had the tube repaired about 10 times lol, was a while ago

I still use inner tubes as the pukka tubeless tyres are feckin expensive and the AA aren't going to come out and fix a puncture on a pushbike

But there is a kit to make ordinary rims run normal tyres as well, cyclocross riders use this as they can run lower pressures and less risk of punctures.

I got my new jersey today, red so it matches the bike

Adjusted the tyre pressures as Fizz described then went for a ride which about 15 miles really nice out. I was wearing my bib tights and s/s jersey that seemed enough.

I'm going to try going for a longer ride tomorrow, I'm stuggling with stamia at the moment I get tried quite easy thought I think that is related to a long term injury.

One day at a time MM, I only returned to cycling last year after a 10 year lay off. I'm tired today after yesterday's ride.

Shame as its a lovely day again

Worlds lightest bike - 2.7kg all in!

Err aren't Fixie's meant to have one fixed gear, I can see at least 2 derailiuers

It could have been made even lighter with only using front brake and no handlebar tape

Still nice carbon bits & bobs

I didn't even notice the gears at first and just assumed it must be a fixie at that weight!

Some nice bling, but it is butt ugly.

Is it me, or are the front and rear wheels different sizes ?

mattSV · 24-03-11, 06:53 PM

Front could be a 650?
