East Lothian 10 miles each way rural roads and occasional farm tracks and forest paths. Pompino, 700c, CX tyres (Maxxis Larsen Mimo), puncture-proof strips (we have a LOT of hawthorn in East Lothian, all cut nice + neat and all over the road…) and 40×16 SS.
How the bloke above does 48×16 I have no idea!
3 years ago I rode it with skinny road tyres every day 30 miles to and from Edinburgh fixed 40×14, training for TransScotland, "1000 miles in May" and raised money for Sick Kids doing that. That was good. No serious hills though – on fixed it's the descents that put me off!
Cheers, al.
