I’ve never done more than low 20’s in mileage, always on the stock Radial 360. I can maintain 10mph with casual effort over this distance. I’d like to get a block of time and crack 30 miles. The time seems to be the determining factor. The 2hr MTN bike race I just did left me MUCH more tired than any 20 mile road ride I’ve ever done. I think 30 miles would be no sweat (well, some sweat).
Improvements since my last 20 miler:
- handlebars
- new KH seat with the groove, (much more comfortable for my taint and doesn’t cause peeing to hurt).
- a pair of 125s from UDC (haven’t installed these yet - soon I hope)
