• Nice, yes, but I've managed to ride the PX over everything so quite doable. The descents weren't as steep as a lot of British roads, though they were longer. Could pad out the brake levers a bit to help if it became an issue. Now I have the 4SD though I'll not bother trying to fire up a TT bike for it. It's cheaper too. Not sure how comfortable I'd be leaving the £££ Shiv outside shops :)

  • Sure, I've been doing UK audaxes on TT bikes for a few years (my plan was to use one for LEL in 2013 but that didn't happen). Going up is fine - just a question of gears - but I wouldn't fancy it for a half-hour alpine descent at night when sleepy!

  • I don't really get dozy on descents, usually just flat bits. I might lose a bit of time on descents having to brake earlier without the discs but the rest would be OK.
