  • Appears I have done something rather silly to my road bike tyres. I was in a hurry to clean and pack the bike up to fly to Majorca and may have absent mindedly dried my tyres with an oily rag.

    :-(

    I had a few scary moments while I was out there (losing traction, even going up the hills!)

    Now when I ride the rollers I can hear them squealing underneath me?!

    What's the best approach for cleaning them up again? Track-style sandpaper and vinegar method? Car shampoo? Degreaser?

    Avoid car shampoo, it probably leaves a wax deposit. Ordinary soap and water (e.g. washing up liquid), rinse well with clean water.
