Back tire
Racing tires do not seem to last very long. After riding Monday, I noticed the inner tube peeking through the sidewall of my rear tire. I also notice a couple of cuts in the surface that looked deep and relatively new.
So today I replaced the rear Michelin Pro Race tire with another. This one has gray sidewalls, meaning it's reinforced with Kevlar. The real problem may be that I need to lose 20 kg in order to be a light enough rider for a fussy racing bike.
I also noticed that when rolling on the freewheel my rear hub rotates slowly and very slightly on its axis. It should not do that, right?
