Two years ago I was at 178, and had been at 178 for years. One thing led to another and the dr put me on testosterone injections. My entire body hurt, for months. I almost gave it up, several times. The dr kept laughing and said, "Stick with it....you'll see."
Anyway, after 6 months, I weighed 205. I ended up havign to get smaller pants, and larger shirts. I feel like I understand how Sylvester Stallone can look so good at 95 years of age...
Tire comfort? I knwo one thing I dont care for. The sport tires, soft compound. Something like a Michelin Pilot Power vs Pilot road.
The Pilot Power front has a triangle shape to it. Bike just falls into turns. For me, and for the street, give me the rounded profile like the pr2, 3 or 4 has.
