Gabi and I are signed up to do PBP this year. I’m going to be riding fixed, partly for fun and partly because we seem to ride well together over long distance when she’s on a geared bike and I can’t freewheel. (I ascent the hill quicker, she descends it quicker, repeat ad infinitum.)
I’m going to make some small changes to my fixed in the run up to this. I find it very comfortable now, but there’s always room for improvement.
One of the changes I’ll try first is to replace the current Time ATACs with some Dura-Ace SPD-SL pedals. I’ve always been a bit hesitant to use a road pedal system on my fixed as I do most of my bikepacking on my fixed. This inevitably leads to more walking on mud or ground that would be more suited to a MTB shoe.
I doubt I’ll be doing much bikepacking this year as I’m fully booked with qualifying audax events, so putting on road pedals should be fine.
Maybe I’ll even give aero bars a go… 🤔
