Things I learnt last night
« on: 10 June, 2008, 09:20:03 am »
On my commute home....

1. The first time in years you leave your pump at home is the time the faeries strike

2. The first visit in 6000km for Schwalbe Marathon+ will also occur at this time

3. SM+ run pretty well completely flat (on the rear) for at least 7 miles

Handling optimum at about 12mph - any slower and it's too wibbly and any faster is frankly terrifying.

Tyre still looked OK at the end, but decided not to re-fit it, although it seems a bit harsh to chuck it. Maybe I'll hang it on the (otherwise empty) trophy wall in a 'Spirit of Dunkirk' theme.
