Wasn't as difficult to fit as I thought ...... went for Schwalbe tyres with Summer here, the Rocket Ron on front (bit more grip) and Racing Ralph on the back - should be a fast rolling pair !

    lovely looking bike - be prepared for a few cringe worthy dings to appear after a ride in the peaks though!

    i used to ride in the peaks a fair bit - as a mate lived in Sheffield, now he's in Chesterfield but we are going to re-visit some routes in coming months - starting this Saturday!

    never got 'dings' before and hope to avoid where possible .... but that's the nature of the game to some degree !

    My wheels are American Classic MTB26 Tubeless - as per this link -->

    Lovely - only had them a couple of months.... !

    Lighter than many other wheels out there - but strong too ..... plus a bit different .....

    Oops - spoke too soon ...

    a few laps around the garden ..... wait an hour or 2, front gone down - not holding tight on the rim ........... then re-inflate that and try again, then rear went softer too .....

    Gotta persevere and get them sealed somehow - keep on shakin' that sealant around !

    Please work ....
