523.18 miles in to the Kona PhD now and all is well. That’s 40+ hours in the saddle and 36652 calories burnt Average speed is up by probably more than 4 mph now over the old MTB wheels – but that’s not surprising given the rather skinny rims I’m running on. Pleased to say that I haven’t had a flat since switching to the Specialized Armadillo tyre at the rear.

About the Author

Paul lives, rides and works in Cardiff, South Wales. His work seems to largely entail fixing things and keeping wheels on. Officially, he is actively engaged and interested in Enterprise Architecture these days, but has a secret past that involved standing around on glaciers collecting meltwater samples, and walking through endless fields of wheat taking radiance measurements.
Hi,
I noticed from your Twitter feed that you have some DropBox invites. I’ve been on the “waitlist” for months and would love to get one (or two…one for me and one my fiancee), if possible. If they’re already gone, thanks for the offer. And congrats on the improved speed with new wheels.
Take care,
Glen
