My current tyres are a set of Schwalbe Marathons and thus far they're living up to their name. According to BikeJournal I've had 4000Km out of them so far and I've probably got another 500 - 1000 Km left on them, although handling is starting to get a bit twitchy as the tread smooths out.
Overall I'd recommend the Marathons as a good balance of performance and durability.
Whilst I've been busy retagging news of the weird posts I've been re-reading older posts that I wanted to refresh my memory of.
In the comments thread to a 5 questions meme, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
vegetus wistfully observed "now if my legs weren't too short for a trike".
This is where I point out that Europe is recumbent heaven generally, that the UK is the home of Trice specifically, and that the 35" minimum x-seam of the Trice Q & T is shorter than Greenspeed manage for the small-frame GTs...
Also, the prices for a Trice look a lot cheaper when you're already being paid in sterling. :)
nevryn was involved in the Pedal Prix (or something similar) some time ago. 66.6Kmh. I probably hit that coming down Red Hill, I don't usually get more than 50 odd off Mount Pleasant.
And, yes, I did both yesterday. :)
Morning: A good gym session and a nice ride to work under a beautiful blue sky. A bit windy but you can't have everything.
Lunchtime: Weather looks to be turning grim, cloud cover is in and it is attempting to rain with mixed success.
Evening: Wind, rain, and an oppressively dark sky. Courtesy of lights, rain jacket, fairing, and the garage remote the ride home wasn't too bad though but I'm not going out there again tonight. Pizza is coming to me I tell you!
strangedave 's correction last time, is a speeding ticket anywhere in Australia. :)
