I went down ‘the bad way’ on Sat. Got stranded in Sussex, Sunday, by a combination of replacement buses (Lewes, Uckfield, East Grinstead...) and bike restrictions (there was a Lon > Btn ride on Sunday so everything south of Gatwich was verboten). Shiiiiiiit.
Wider, the last climb had rocks 3 times the width of my tyres that had me skipping over a longish steep climb.
Which was making it difficult to keep momentum on a single speed.
Some intermediate 29er tyres next time I think. Need to find something nice in 1.7" - 1.9"
Nice!
(tyre choice: bigger? smaller? smoother? knobblier?)
