I used to do a lot of cycling including time-trialling, through my teens and twenties but, drifted away goung in to my thirties. Tried going back to it in more recent years but, failed to get the bug back.

Yes I’m big in to mountain biking, I have three (not including the frame in the loft) 😅

I agree on road riding, have a single speed for the commute but have a gravel bike for the crappy b roads where hopefully you will only see a car every half an hour!

Summers coming so be nice to find some trails to explore .

Ive orderd this German made bike by ex world moutain biker.Alloy double butted frame with a reasonable Shimano running gear.Hydrolic brakes sealed hubs and BB.

think its going to be another week though GRRR.

Not a commercial brand for the money better than the likes of Marin.

I'm one of those that used to do a lot of cycling in my younger days. Bought a mountain bike in my 40's just to ride to work. 1st half of journey along canal towpath then a mile or so an a back road and last half mile on a busy main road. I cycled for a few years then my knees couldn't take it anymore.

I used to have a Pinnacle One bike from Evans Bike Shop but kept getting punchers so ended up selling it.

Nice thick wheels, that’s where I went wrong with thin ones.

This is what I used to time trial on, Specialized Turbo R 700x19c with Kevlar beads, @145psi for low rolling resistance.

@Angle Poise-Lamp has time trialing jumped on the high volume bandwagon as well? Quite enjoying the 32mm Conti gp5000 on my road wheels.

No idea, I gave up time trialing a long time ago, when working further from home left me no time for training and, too far for cycling to work…….. About 30 years ago.

I will say though, that tubular tyres (tubs) are a little fatter than the lightest beaded tyres, like I used. Tubs can also take higher pressure.
