I'm only using the Armadillo on the back because I had an old one kicking around the pile 'o bits and when I switch to fixed I reckon it should withstand a fair amount of learning to skid. Also the bike lanes in Swindon are shitty and littered with debris in winter so puncture resistance is a bonus. The alternatives on my commute being fast dual carriage ways or long diversions to get around the estates.
Once it's Spring, this bike will become my TT/flat audax bike, will be stripped down and be 23s front and back.
