Porte takes another hit today as he's held up by a crash 3.2km out... just 200m shy of the "crash within 3km of finish gets same time" rule. I thought they'd cut him and Contador some slack on this one, but nope. Rules are killing him this Giro! ;) For those not following he received a 2 ...

I'm going to do some experimenting, bearing in mind that am (ahem) a Clydesdale and fairly new to all this skinny tire business...

"Still the best mix of aero, low rr, puncture resistance and durability is the original Conti GP4000S 23C with latex tubes of course... Tire pressure almost makes a difference on rolling resistance. Too high is just as bad as too low." I just run the tire pressure recommended on the sidewa...

Here's a good article about it: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/learn/25-vs-23" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; There was one guy a few years ago that did a bunch of tests where he had people roll downhill on different tires. Wider won, everyone thought he was a nutjob and must have...

Wow, that is interesting - I put 21s on my new bike when I got it, but I think I'll put the 23s back on and see if there's a noticeable difference.

Other than the obvious benefit of running a narrower tire for less rolling resistance, what are the pros and cons of running 21, 23, or 25 widths ? I just saw a pic of an IM guys' bike, and he was running 25s, that goes counter to what I would have expected.... http://www.slowtwitch.com/Products/The...

Race with a Harley I raced a Harley today and after some really hard riding I managed to PASS the guy. I was riding on one of those really, really twisting sections of mountain road with no straight sections to speak of and where most of the bends have warning signs that say "MAX SPEED 50 KPH&q...

Is it a good idea to deflate the tires while the bikes are parked for the winter ?
I just thought it might 'de-stress' the sidewalls of the tires and the tubes.
Comments ?

Need a new HRM ?

Good luck on that for both of us - perhaps a 'beverage' and a gabfest might help....

Its been ongoing since the first week of May, and all the stretching exercises aren't helping.
Any hints ?
Thanks in advance...

Marshaled at the Beaches Jazz Run this morning- a hot and humid day, hats off to all the runners !
