Had a bugger of a ride yesterday. Got a puncture and after a lot of fiddling, knackering the replacement tube, having the tyre turn itself inside out and ending up having to carry my bike home (only a mile).
Luckily the tyre (a Conti Vapour) was out of tread anyway. Luckily had a Spesh Adrenaline knocking around so swapped the Cont Explorer off the front on to the back and put the Adrenaline on the front. It's a 2.2in but bloomin eck it's a BIG tyre. The Explorer is a 2.1 but the two look miles apart.
Anyway tons of grip off the Adrenaline but blimey it's a draggy bugger. An hour along the cut and a few laps of Wessa lake and I'm toasted.
Can't afford anything else so looks like extra fitness gains are on the way!
