Ready to race with (slightly) pimped Bromptie

            I came 12th in the final - which I think is not too bad at all.  

The modification that makes the most difference is the tyres - they are awesome.  However, they are very weak indeed - I have many cuts and holes in them already and have had a puncture (which is something I never have with Brompton green tyres).

I am sure losing the mudguards and the titanium seatpost make some differences - certainly do when carrying it!

The 54 tooth chaninring is really good with the Stelvio tyres - I am just not sure those tyres will last too long, so we'll have to see what happens when I go back to the greens.  Will I be strong enough to keep the 54 or do I drop back to my 50 tooth?

Ah well - the World Championships are next!
