I did my 1st ever commute on them Tannus solid tyres today on the Dawes Fixie. I've done about 400 miles or so to get used them (and them used to me?) and we're starting to get on better. Deffo more rolling resistance but just about do-able. 1Hr 27mins when usually I'd be in at around the 1Hr 18 mark or so but factor in only 4 1/2 hrs sleep and a slight headwind I think it was OK.
This morning commute expressed as a Captain Beefheart track...
