Mike Giffen replied to Rob Wood's discussion Heart Rate Recording Issues in the group I've Got a Garmin Gizmo"I wonder if it could be as simple as not having the strap tight enough and it is momentarily lifting off your slim frame whilst riding.
Also, on the rare occasions I have had some unusual readings, I have found that re-moistening the sensor pads…"
Mike Giffen replied to Troy Collett's discussion MTB or CX Bike?"It's a tough call as both bikes can be pretty versatile . A CX bike can be used for CX races, a road bike, a commuter, a light tourer and a Cross Country bike (more trails like the Mawson than single track). A MTB can naturally do the full MTB…"
Mike Giffen replied to Kathryn H's discussion West Beach Surf Life Savings Club"At most cyclist coffee haunts, patrons can leave their bikes in view meaning they do not need to carry a lock. Our very small group used to have coffee etc at WBSLC on our weekly Thursday morning ride. In view of the design we could not leave our…"
Mike Giffen replied to Michael Murray's discussion Bikes hanging about in Hyde Park"I cannot believe that an inexpensive, practical solution to managing the large number of bikes that arrive at KW road coffee establishments for, what, well under an hour each, could create such an controversy.

Mike Giffen replied to Peter Hill's discussion The trouble with roof mounted bicycle racks"I agree - having had both styles and finally realising I don't need a couple of filthy MTB in the cabin of the car.

Did not know that they were different colours, one of the downfalls of being colour blind."
Jeremy Champion replied to Mike Giffen's discussion Understanding ride profiles"Brilliant James thanks. It makes sense now red up green down blue up then down. I note the numbers are included on the map at this link.

Tyre Size
Posted on February 6, 2010 at 18:21 2 Comments 0 Likes
I have a Surly Cross Check which comes out of the box with a 700 x 32 tyre. Whilst it is a reasonable tyre I am looking to upgrade to a Schwalbe tyre which I have only been able to find in 35mm. The LBS sales guy said it would be fine on the rim but I would like to have some confirmation of that as they are certainly not cheap.
I would appreciate the advice from those in the group

There doesn't seem to be much detail available yet, but I wonder if anyone has yet ridden it.
