Took the CGR 725 for a proper ride yesterday, 50km of mixed terrain more than half of it off-road.
The bike felt superb, much better than I could have imagined. (This is my 1st steel bike).
Never felt slow or harsh. Still getting used to the clunky SRAM shifting system.
I might shorten the stem and quite fancy some flared bars as well.
Next I need to go shopping for a couple of bags (probably top tube or handlebars, and a medium/large saddle one).
Sadly I had to do a puncture repair and getting the beading of that brand new WTN Ranger tyre was a nightmare.
Q: is that a common problem with tubeless-ready tyres and rims?
