Some councils have less funding than others but it's how it's planned and completed etc which matters. bham atm is littered with road works and road traffic lights but it looks like no work is being carried out or it's super slow, on top of that the night life leaves glass, litter and NOS canisters in the roads etc which are not cleaned up and become part of the road.
I ride fixed like everyday tho with thick ass tyres and it's fun dodging things but now I'm back on a roadie its gunna suck rolling into random sharp things, the roads are abit nice in places like Sutton Coldfield and near the lickey hills but brum city is the Grand Canyon for sure hahaha
Also I managed to fit 30mm tyres on the low, picked up some Zafiros for cheap but have also realised the wheelset has a 10 speed cassette with a 10 speed free hub! Fml
Dosnoventa fork says 28mm max clearance but there's a lot of room with the 30s in, rear i got a couple mm of space
