There're plenty of times it's no fun being a skinny rake, e.g. the windchill yesterday had me racing in merino ls + a gillet under my club vest. It was that or hypothermia, I warmed up after about 35mins but never got uncomfortably hot. #noinsulation
Am sure weight is a factor for some however many of the Frontrunners are muscley not so skinny.
In other news my skinny arms couldn't get some of my old spikes loose, had to resort to locking pliers:
they were well worn (12 mm new):
Have used some Fenwicks Copper grease on the new set.
