From: 6 miles inland from the coast of Sussex, in the South East of England

Bikes: Dale MT2000. Bianchi FS920 Kona Explosif. Giant TCR C. Boreas Ignis. Pinarello Fp Uno.

1540- Light enough to make a difference but not light enough to be "Fragile" The price you paid was pretty good so either a good friend or some hard bargaining.

I had OM wheels that were over 2Kg and with heavy tyres on them- I felt the weight of them. Changed to handbuilts at 1650 grammes and PR2 tyres at 200 grammes each and Average speed for a 30 miler went up by 2mph and coasting speed went way up. I found Distance less fatigueing aswell- hence the question of how miles between Pie. I got away with one Pie stop on a 30 miler instead of 2 with the OM's. Except it was 40 miles instaed of 30.
