Just bought a second hand Frog 52 and find the complete bike quite heavy compared with a 16" Islabikes. The Frog is an ex rental bike and the tires are non standard.
I suspect the tires are probably replaced by the rental company before the bike was put in there rental fleet as the current tire seems very durable but are probably heavy as well.
I would like to do some weight shredding to make the bike more comfortable for a 5 year old and think that the tires are a good starting point.
What are the forum approved 20" tires for a children's bike?
Current tires are CST Swing 20x1.95, I don't want to go much bigger as I will add full length mud guards as well.
Originals are Kenda Small Block 8 20x1.5, should I go back to these or order something else?
