I've been using a Pinnacle Arkose SSCX bike as my commuter for the last year or so, and it's been through quite a few iterations. Now I'm almost at the end of my studies I want to start gearing it up for a few longer-distance adventures...
So, it initially looked something like this:
Recently I added gears:
And some gear...
I've yet to find the right tyres though, I've used WTB Nanos which are great off road, but hard work on the road. Paselas, which were great until they washed out round a corner and broke my thumb... and currently fitted are Marathon Racers, but these aren't really doing it for me either. I'm thinking about Schwalbe G-One if anyone has experience of them?
I've also got a SP PD-8X dynamo on order, and when it arrives it'll be fitted to a Stan's crest, to match the rear wheel.
Also waiting to be fitted are some guards...
