Schlick SuperFast

Had the SuperFast out the other day and decided to see how it worked on the local MTB trails along the Milwaukee River. I hit the section from just south of Capitol to south of North Ave. and the SuperFast worked well. Admittedly, this section of the River Trail is reasonably tame but the SuperFast is a road bike after all!

The 28mm Fyxation Session 700s did a good job on the mostly dry trail just a bit sketchy where the trail was slimy.

If I did this regularly on the SuperFast I’d add inline brake levers so I could brake while riding the top of the bars. Other than that no worries.

I finished the ride along the Milwaukee Lakefront.
