You set it up, and I'll do my damnedest to get there. I can't
remember where you live, but I'll lay good odds it's as far from my
house as it's possible to get (I'm in Gordon).

OK, who of the ausmoto folks are in Canb, and might possibly be bicycle
types? Me, you, your vastly-easier-on-the-eyes lady, ZeeBee....anyone else?

I'm game, then again none of my bikes have motors.

Oh, just don't make it the Queen's Birthday weekend - I'm riding my
CT90 to the Wintersun rally in Mildura.

Your MTB would be faster

I don't think *anyone* could do 50mph on my MTB.

I hope you've grown a beard!

OK. They were very sticky for the first 10km, picking up little bits
of gravel and flinging them off against the downtube making a steady
plink-plink-plink noise. ;-)

As expected they roll *much* more easily than the 60psi 26x1.5" tyres
they're replacing. Obviously I've still got some drag from the dynamo
hub on the front, but I'm able to run 1 gear higher than before along
most of the commute. The ride is a bit more harsh than before, but
the cheap suspension forks and sprung seat keep the ride comfortable.

The verdict: good so far, but we'll have to wait and see how long
they last!
