i know theres no fact but if you say its a decent weight and tire i trust it

i'm not a weight weenie anyway, i'm happy to sacrifice some grip and puncture protection for some weight any day

If your satisfied with the tread design, you can't go to wrong.

new cranks should be in the post on Monday, got some grips that will do for now, need to sort the rear brake or buy a new one

not sure if i get tires or SS kit,front ring and chain first

Keep the gears and a chain guide, you won't regret it.

SS is just so much more solid, no clunky-ness every time i ride over something bumpy, i know ill be fine with it to, i done it before

gahhh i don't know, ill ride with gears for a bit longer, see how it goes

yeah thats another reason :Cool :

only reason i want gears is so i can ride longer and faster because its easier on my legs, 42 front cog and 7 speed freewheel on the back is a pretty good range of ratios, on my ride home they all came in handy
