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?
