Sah heute definitiv nach #frostpendeln aus.

Tires issues again
Well, that was underwhelming. The Onza Grava barely lastet 1200km on the rear. I didn't skid the rear tire, actually only once braked hard as someone took my right of way. I guess the little nobs aren't ment for use on tarmac.
On the front wheel the tire looked a bit better, but still a far cry from doing 2000km. Shame for they rolled well ,smooth and straight, had very good grip in loose ground and were easy to setup tubeless.
One unexpected benefit of white tires is that they reflect the light of my bike lamp better and thereby increase visibility from the sides.
Anyhow for my third new set of tires this year I picked the Hutchinson Caracal 40mm for the rear and the Caracal Race 45mm on the front. They have a solid strip of rubber on the center, which should make for low rolling resistance and low wear. They are well suited for dry and hard packed grounds and pavement. There are some small nobs on the sides for good cornering grip, when you lean the bike over. Bummer they don't come in white.

Well when commuting by bike you can't always have perfect weather. If you're lucky you can find a gap between showers. Today there was nothing I could do but face the rain and ride anyway. At least it was mostly a light drizzle.

Oh, gerade festgestellt, dass das Commuter Insert für die Ortlieb Panniers ein kleines Loch hat. Das hat sich wohl durch die Reibung beim #gravel Pendeln durchgescheuert 😬

3°C und Dauerregen sind eigentlich auch vollkommen ok (wenn man vorher weiß, dass man jetzt nur 45 Minutne unterwegs ist und danach eine warme Dusche und trockene Klamotten warten).

Hab dann heute doch nochmal die Winterradschuhe aus dem Schrank geholt. So konnte ich den Weg zur Arbeit bei -5°C und Sonne genießen.

Grau, kalt, ruhig.
