I got a good deal on some vintage rims which I will build up for training untill I can afford a more expensive wheelset, they are 19mm wide. I want to run 20mm tyres but I weigh 110kg, I know it would be out of the question for road training/racing but on an outdoor track would it be ok? might use 22c, but would prefer 20c. I run 28c on the road for commuting/training.

There's no benefit to be had in going down as low as 20c, especially at your weight. Get a pair of 23c and se them.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
