How do you like the new tires? Do they roll better?
Yep have found out about the valve adapters. Thanks for the info though!

Re the tyres i have no idea-i went to the pub this evening instead

With luck i should be able to test them tomorrow during the day and get a ba k to back average mph on the turbo trainer.

Will report back!
