Hey [MENTION=19321]Pogue Mahone[/MENTION] after an awful lot of 'how much' I ended up with these:-

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/vittoria-rubino-slick-road-bike-tyre/rp-prod114794

I've never had those - I always go for Vittoria Rubino Pros. A little more expensive, but perfect for me.

I have just put a new pair on my bike - I had a puncture earlier and only then did I notice how worn I'd let my tyres become - almost shredded in one place. I have had them on so long that I have forgotten to check them regularly.

Thank God I didn't notice when we were in Wisborough Green...

I think we'd already had all our wheel bad luck before leaving Shoreham.

I guess I hadn't bought tyres for a while either.
In general they seemed a lot more expensive than I remembered, £30 - £40+ per tyre.

I've had those before and they were plenty good enough, regular Continentals, for example, certainly aren't 3 or 4 times better.

In your own words... build it and they will come.
To be honest I just wanted to see if the funky graphic transfers across ok.
I'd imagine we'll be seeing a few more in a months time.

Done. Yet again Im going in to it a bit blind as I really don't follow road cycling that closely these days, but hopefully picking a team who can all go uphill reasonably well will see me do ok on a tough mountainous C.d.D course.

This is a video of my daughter racing in the U14 girls at national race on the North West Tour, she is the flash of Yellow going past at about 23 seconds in.




Before this happened :down:
