First things first, I hope this is in the right section, if not point me to where I need to be :)
So, Ive got this new road bike and after about a 100 miles or so I'm realising I'm just not as fast through the bends ie country roads or roundabouts as my dad and other cyclists. I read in a motorbike magazine weight on the front end helps and as I was lowering my bars anyway I thought it might help, doesnt seem to make much difference. I'd of thought the tyres should be scrubbed in by now, there vittorio rubino's, I've got some gatorskins that have done around 200 mile, are they gun a be any better?
I'm pretty quick on other bikes so I don't believe it's me and I should just HTFU haha.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :D
