Carbon Wheel Swap, Two Rare Climbs Riding To W. Lake Houston Parkway
Video clips --- https://youtu.be/X6dFtB-9ooM
An idea can to mind for today's bike ride, why not change the wheels on my Canyon Endurace CF 7 to the ones on my Lynskey Helix? This would give me the opportunity to ride the Canyon with smaller lighter tires and carbon rims. Exchanging the wheels delayed the start by about half an hour because the rear wheel I was substituting on the Lynskey wouldn't line up for the thru axle to thread. After several attempts I left the thru axle in the wheel but not threaded. The wheels now on the Canyon were the Alpha 46 with Continental Gatorskin 700x28c tires. I probably should've checked the tire pressure but the tires felt solid when I bounced them on the floor.
