the following links are an answer to the results that i have achieved and probably an answer to why others have not have had similar gains, as per the first link my usual riding weight is 88kg and the tire type with recommended pressures i use is listed on the second link. regards

based on personnel results, identical course,same conditions only change tire pressure. over a 36k course with a back to back ride with the only rest been the time it took to pump up the front & rear tires resulted in a decrease in ride time of 1m46sec and kcal decrease of 225. maybe a placebo result who knows. it might be something for the individual to gauge.

My old Skool woolen baby blue and white Bianchi Campagnolo apres woolen longsleeve jersey. It was passed onto me by my living legend cycling grandmother LiL Ruffle. A tad short in the sleeve, but love every winter I get to wear it apres.
It's that good I want to share a photo of it.
Wade, how do we, can we add photo's?

I just lashed out on some Campag racing knicks which are awesome… make a massive difference on long rides. I wasn't even sore after the Warny, whereas with my usual knicks I would have been in agony by about 200km.

I did a post a few months ago on this. Not such a simple topic. As it turns out it seems that higher pressure is not necessarily better.

Not true GM, suggest you look at the studies that have been done on optimal tire pressures.

Depends completely on your weight, the tire in use and the condition of the road surface. Higher is not necessarily better.

You would be surprised how low the optimal pressure is for most people on the average Australian road. Well below 150 you will find.

The original NZ supplier has gone belly-up (pity). However, after a lot of searching I have found a few places – the URL's r on my home PC – will upload tonight. I have found it marginally easier to source (via the internet & Google) in New Zealand than Australia….

Why is black not pro? It's good enough for ninjas, so why not ninja cyclists?
