For example, in the supplement of the recent publication of the now-quite extensive genetic resistance […]

Bit off top-topic, but without my bikes it would be a whole lot harder to get to the John Radcliffe hospital. Decided to bite the bullet and try going tubeless, especially after I realised my Shimano Ultra 6800 wheelset was “tubeless ready” (the inside of the rim is completely smooth with the ends of the […]

Since I record all my rides on Strava and go the same route between Witney and Oxford everyday I have a good dataset. In theory, changing the wheels was the major difference […]
