Managed to finally lace up a pair of surly singlespeed hubs for my 1fg. Bought a 16t halo clickster from an lbs, wanted to try a white industries but they only had 18t. They’re a lot heavier than the Chris kings but nice solid wheels.
Then switched the tires to some Continental cross country’s in 1.5” on my Franck Roman. Really transformed the ride compared to the Maxxis Larsen TT in 2”, I used to use cross countries every winter in the 90’s and was happy to find a pair for cheap forgot how quick they feel. Next step is to switch the brakes to some old xt or ritchey cantis I found in the shed.
