  • I stand corrected! Was just being flippant in my previous comment. Using your calculation @Tijmen I get 1.1962890625. so yes, @MisterMikkel 20% increase is bang on. Maths is not a strength of mine..

    Went for a shakedown ride yesterday with the 32c rear tyre and it was all good, apart from on some sandy trails in the local woods which made me want a bit of extra volume. The EXT up front was great, nice to have the extra grip there. Also, the 35c slick I ordered just arrived so I will fit that later and then make a decision on the crimping situation. I'm just a bit nervous about damaging an old frame, so any advice or previous experience on that would be appreciated!

    Still loving the Nitto x Riv Choco bars. This time I flipped them to be sloping down slightly. Grepp Bar tape was a quick 5min job before heading out, I'll re-do that!

    40 years of riding and never thought to have the front shifter on the down tube and rear shifter on the bars. I love it. Great bike.

    I'd definitely have used a silver headset and stem, but I get where your were going with this. ....or black bars and post.
