Following my bike being stolen looking into replacement commuter/winter bike. Genesis flyer and Day One on my radar.
The Flyer looks to tick all the right boxes.
But wondering if the Day One would make for an interesting change. Any opinions on it? I'm quite new to discs (although have them on a rarely used MTB). Would there be any headaches and faff with track ends, disc brakes and mudguards (e.g. in the event of punctures)? I'd also want to have the option to run it fixed and at a higher gear than it comes with (49x18 or something similar). Any issues with that on a day one, e.g. is it ok running fixed with rear disc?
