I’ve taken my bike to pieces in preparation for a good powder coating, and so found my self quickly putting my old road bike together and cycling to work on that this morning….
It’s damn amazing how quickly something which was once second nature becomes almost alien… All that free wheeling, and not being able to slow down using the peddles… it feels quite out of control… and I never had clips on my road bike, so having my feet totally unattached was horrible! The peddles aren’t track pedals either so I just felt like I was walking around on a slippery deck or something. (bit of a weird analogy that..)
Anyone else gone back for any reason or after a bit of time and found it odd?
Need to make some alterations I think… and borrow a fixie from someone!!

Yo,
Does it matter what width a tyre is... by which I mean if you're buying 700's, is the width a personal choice rather than a technical requirement owing to the wheel size (within reason)?
I ask because I need to buy some more tyres, the ones that are on the bike (came with) are like chunky, gripppy, almost MTB/off road tyres, and I need to get some roadies on there...
The current ones are 700x35c, and I think the width is just because of the chunkyness... Is it cool to stcick something like 700x32c on there, or 700xsomething smallerc?
(rims are labelled as 622x13c - does that help?)
Bang. That's me in the firing zone.x
