Just ride a bike. It’s not like you’ll be any good on any level

Took my bike to wheelcraft - mech slagged off all the bullshit - one cyclist turned up with his 5K bike not understanding why he couldn’t pedal. Useless spiv didn’t realise his chain had rusted up

And there was me thinking I was dumb

My first ‘no right turn’ bike had 19mm singles and 170psi.
You could hear it on Mars when they let go.

Come on Joe the irony can’t be lost here. You over analyse every single aspect of just going for a run, digital goggles etc etc

Yet you’re absolutely drawing the line at people enjoying wider tyres! :joy:

I am not into all the marginal stuff, but on crappy roads riding wider, softer tyres is most definitely more comfy than the skinny rock solid ones of old. Maybe your roads are all nice and smooooth up there in that there London :grin:.

Reading back what I said looks a little snarky, sorry that wasn’t the intention - I thought we were just having an ironic pile on about improvements to bikes, so was being silly.

I find fatter tyres nicer, but for some reason took a long time to be convinced about disc brakes (although I am now)

I know others have commented past this post, but I don’t think this is play on.

Even though there are some amazing athletes in this community, no one here is anywhere near Hayden Wilde or LCB. So, what does it matter?

Is this a joke ?

23 mm with a valve so has to be run at 80 psi v 32 mm tubeless 60 psi or lower is the same ?!

The difference to me is night and day ?!

Whilst you are all debating tyre width… I’m having to deal with the stress of;

  • Will the random person off FB turn up?
  • Will I be murdered ?
    Tyre width isnt important today :grin:

Are you meeting in some random layby in the middle of nowhere? If so, good luck with that and can I inherit your Zwift Profile :joy:

I’m alive! Lovely chap… brought his dad and uncle along.
Uncle was the non English speaking bike expert.

I’m not sure Uncle had ever ridden a bike and I was convinced he was going to be the one to crash it. No haggling, through in an old turbo. Everyone happy.

It’s been a while since I went through the internet axe murderer fear, glad you survived!

Speaking of which, we should all get together in London one day. See who has the sharpest axe.

Someone should get their AI bot to calculate which location would result in the lowest total travel time.

I reckon you city slickers will need to head west!

I reckon we’d probably end up somewhere in Northumberland on that basis
