Ride Entry – 14th September 2009
by admin on Sep.17, 2009, under Uncategorized
Bike: Vela
Distance: 22 miles
Quick blast out to clear the cobwebs. I started thinking about the mileage this bike has done since I got it, 1500 approx now, and it was second hand. The wheels have been replaced because the bontrager ones were a bit crap and I’m gradually moving the Ultegra groupset across from my cross bike 
but then I realised that the Continental Grand Prix 4000 tyres have been with my road bikes since I had the Lemond. So they;ve done 1500 miles on this bike and probably about 500 on the Lemond, so that’s (for those of you who have difficulty adding up), over 2000 miles, on one set of tyres. Then I realised I’ve not had (and here’s the kiss of death), one puncture in all that time.
I’m mightily impressed with that. I’ll be getting another pair (although they are 31 quid each!) when these wear out.
