Two new pieces of equipment on today’s bike ride: new tires for my Lynskey R300, and new cleats on my Sidi shoes. The Continental Gatorskin 700×32 tires replace the Kenda Valkyrie Elite ones that came with the bike. The Kenda tires had a hard life lately with a cut sidewall and screw puncture. The new cleats weren’t planned but after looking at the old ones I decided not to switch them because the right cleat was worn thin. At the start of the ride I noticed the cleats moved freely in the 6 degree range as expected. The new tires felt good and hugged the road tightly (ha, ha). I aired them to 80 psi making bumps not so harsh. Maybe the extra 2mm of width makes a difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
