David replied to Georgie D's discussion Tyre sizes - fatter on the back
"I currently have a 23mm on the front and a 25mm on the back, both Open Corsas.  My previous setup was 25mm on the front and rear.   While I've read of the supposed benefits of using a larger rear tyre, the only reason I have a 23mm on…"

David replied to Stig of The Dump's discussion Anybody could beat the glenelg tram
"It took me 25 minutes to get from from the Victoria Sq/CBD to Brighton Rd/Glenelg on my last commute.  I follow the tram line on the Mike Turtur Bikeway and find that I'm generally faster than the tram. It was about 30 minutes going the…"

David replied to Sean C's discussion Towing with a single speed ?
"I sometimes tow with my ss 29er, 32x20.  It's geared for trail riding, but works well for slow rides.  However, I generally tow with my 1x9 MTB (32x11-34) or my geared CX bike.  "

David replied to Martin Turner's discussion Bogan alert - keep an eye out for these guys if riding in the hills
"I recognise that car and rear-window sticker.  While I can't remember the specifics, I do know that car/driver is trouble."

David replied to Terry C's discussion What type of chain lube do you use, and how often ?
"I use Rock 'n Roll gold or red, depending on the bike (road/mtb) and the weather (dry/wet).  I apply it every few rides and never use any cleaner or solvent on the chain.  It works well for me, YMMV."

David replied to BalaSubramanian Murugesan's discussion Bike track details from Glenelg North to City
"I generally take the Mike Turtur bikeway from Glenelg to St. Peters and the Westside Bikeway back.  Here's my route: http://app.strava.com/rides/25524749"

David replied to Matthew Belperio's discussion best bib knicks!!!!
"I currently have Pearl Izumi Elite and Pro bibs and a pair of Netti Team/Bianchi bibs, and they're all good.   The Pearl Izumi Pros have the best chamois (by far) and fabric, but the legs are cut too short and they're very expensive.…"

David replied to Ruddager's discussion Three flat tyres since that new green stuff went in on Greenhill Rd ...
"Update: I rode to the PACC CX race on Sunday via King William and managed to rip the sidewall of my rear Schwalbe Smart Sam tyre in three places on this stuff, and Smart Sams are pretty stout tyres.   However, I blame myself more than the road…"

David replied to Ruddager's discussion Three flat tyres since that new green stuff went in on Greenhill Rd ...
"FWIW, I ride Vittoria Open Corsas (cotton-ply open-tubular race tyres) in these coarse, green bike lanes regularly and haven't had any punctures or odd wear."

David replied to Eddie Bye's discussion Garmin Edge 500 custom bar mount
"I bought one of these from Trak Cycles yesterday.  It looks great and works well.   I may also get a k-edge for another bike, but I think I prefer the simplicity of the Barfly. "
