MTB Slick tyres
With all the rain was hanging for a ride so went to Centennial Park. I had my Nevegals on at off road pressure and got hosed by some roadies. This won't do. I managed an avg speed of 27.4kp/h over 5 laps - Roadies can get around at 35 kp/h I understand from websites but want to know has anyone got MTB Slick tyres and will it make a noticable difference to speed/rolling resistance for the price. Was thinking of going back with small block 8's I have and jack them up to 80psi and see if I can catch a Cervello or two.
Continental has a few slicks out anyone tried em - what width tyre is best?
Happy Whisperer and a very dirty bike after wet night lap
One very muddy bike.
The brake pads copped a hiding, but the good 'ol Hope sintered pads held up really well. Only needed to replace the backs which were half worn anyway, and as a precaution for the next day.
Have to say good words about Purple Extreme chain lube - perfect shifting all race.

SuperGav dropping by after 120km ride to the race
Gav and Junkie dropped by and offered moral support. Apparently they did nearly 200km in their training ride.....
