• I got the Red levers and crankset for £350, plus I'll sell off the stuff I'm removing, so as it's getting so many daily miles, it seems like good value. And I've always just wanted Red kit and it's my bike so there! (jk)

    Those brakes look good - I'll look into them!

    Are those tyres slicks? I rode on Kojaks for a while and although fast, they weren't grippy enough for the conditions and terrain I regularly ride - had two accidents which I'm pretty sure were avoidable.

  • That's a score on the components and your bike, I'd get sucked into doing the same :D
    Am a fan of the Juin Techs, not as good as the bikes with full hydro but close and much easier to fit.

    They are slicks, more winter orientated but still score very well on low rolling resistance. They can go off-road but if you're doing tow path or gravel daily, then the GKs make more sense.

  • I'd not heard of them before. They look like a good bet over the TRP hydro ones. Thanks for the tip!

    It was a tow path that killed me the first time, and then a light dusting of frost the second time. As always there's a dose of user error, but slicks have made me cagey since.
