    This gentleman enlivened the first week of my early watchings of the TdF, this is not porn either, but there is a lot more flesh on display.

    Good find CXR94Di2.  I think you probably need to find a mate who is running the size tyres on the rims you would like to use and pop them in just to see, or a very nice LBS.  I would find it a difficult to justify and possibly expensive experiment.  Or start with second hand rims.

    You can still get narrow tyres for 26 inch rims.

    Oddly 8th gear is the noisy one, I think maybe that the LBS may have put the cables back to front, gear 1 is fastest and 14 for the big hills, makes little difference mind.  I expected a 1000 mile break in, but it’s not too noisy.

    Well done for flagging up

    Well done for flagging up this story 2Loose.  A good positive peice from local news, often rare.  If only the LDTA (London) might do something similar.

    I occasionally see a group of blokes getting cycle training near me, from their look I presumed truckers, could just be me stereotyping but…
